Advertise on podcast: Iris & Lily the Novel

Description

Iris and Lily grew up sharing everything. Their lumpy bed. Their secret fears. Their wildest dreams. How could they end up so estranged as women? Is the quiet, studious, and eager-to-please Iris really luckier than the exuberant, talented, spitfire Lily, or does each sister create her own destiny? Are one sister’s memories of the past more accurate, or do they both cling to faulty versions of the stories which have influenced their choices and undermined their relationship for decades? The endearing and poignant episodes of Iris and Lily’s coming of age in the midst of a tumultuous family and changing society of the 1960s and 1970s are both humorous and heartbreaking. Every woman who has grappled with her past or struggled with flailing family relationships will relate to these sisters, share a giggle with them, shed a tear with them, want to scream at them, and always and above all urge them on. Because there is a bit of Iris and Lily in every woman. Eye-opening and thought-provoking, these two sisters will steal your heart.
