Description
Dilly’s Lass by Rosie Goodwin is the second book in the Dilly’s Story series, continuing the emotional journey of Dilly, a woman who has carried the heavy burden of a decision she made years ago. In the past, Dilly made the painful choice to give her baby daughter, Olivia, to a wealthy family, the Farthings, believing they could provide her with a better life. Now, years later, Olivia reappears on Dilly’s doorstep, with a baby of her own, asking for help and hiding a secret she feels only Dilly can understand.
Dilly, thrilled to reconnect with her daughter and now granddaughter, agrees to assist Olivia, despite the dangers of keeping the secret from her former lover, Max Farthing, who is still married to the increasingly unhinged Camilla. The tension grows as Dilly navigates her feelings for Max, her connection to Olivia, and the complicated family dynamics. The story explores themes of family, love, and the challenges of moving on from past decisions, all set against the backdrop of the post-World War I era.
Dilly’s Lass is a heartfelt and emotional tale about forgiveness, rebuilding lives, and the complexity of relationships, with Rosie Goodwin’s signature warmth and depth.
