The royal lacemaker

Linda Finlay

Seventeen years old, Lily Rose scratches out a meagre living making lace, responsible for her siblings following the death of their parents. Hundreds of miles away, in London, Queen Victoria is preparing for her wedding. She will wear the most exquisite dress, bearing the famous Honiton lace. Lily is selected as one of the few to work on this top-secret commission, quickly making an impression, working day and night. But there are those who want to see Lily fail, including Squire Clinsden who issues her with a terrible ultimatum - work for him, and be subject to his unwanted advances, or put loved ones at risk
