WILD LILY

Narrator Lauren Irwin contrasts a steady narrative with moments of passionate dialogue in this historical import from the United Kingdom. As Lily as grows up in the 1920s, she and her friends take exhilarating chances parachuting from the new contraption called an airplane. Irwin delivers these moments at a fast pace filled with excitement. The dialogue becomes more emotional as Lily falls in love with her childhood friend, Antony, who does not return her feelings but remains in her life. Listeners will be entranced as they follow Lily through the decades in this coming-of-age novel, which, in many ways, ends right where it begins.
