Lilies

Lilies is a BBC period-piece drama series that tells the story of three young women living in poverty in 1920s Liverpool, as their lives change almost as rapidly as the world does in the years following the First World War. Iris, Ruby, and May Moss are three sisters living with their single father, their mother having passed away years prior. The world around them is rapidly changing. World War I has recently ended, sparking an intense amount of reform following the immense loss of life and widespread destruction of the international conflict. Meanwhile, the Moss sisters are growing up as best they can in a world of poverty and wanting. They each desire love and their initial experiences with passion catapult them into womanhood. This gripping series comes from creator Heidi Thomas and it stars Catherine Tyldesley, Kerrie Hayes, and Leanne Rowe as the Moss sisters. Brain McCardie appears as the girls' widower father, who does all he can to keep the family afloat. Lilies is an intriguing drama about one of the most tumultuous periods in world history. MORE
