It's the 1920's, a time of wealth and parties. Antony - the rich boy living in the great house on the hill - has everything he could ever ask for, including his own plane. But he has no love in his life. Lily has nothing but love to give. Lily, 14, the annoying and scruffy serf, who follows Ant about and will do anything he asks, doesn't even enter into his head until far too late. They grow up together and life happens, taking the two of them to places they never imagined they would end up.Lily's love for Antony is a powerful and unrequited love; stronger than life, death, scandal, loss, disability and time. This is a story about the ever-whirling wheel of life, which goes on and on, despite our wish to stay in those hazy, youthful summer days of parties and fun.
