Description

Lissadell House, Sligo, 1913Lily and her friend Nellie are young housemaids in service in the Big House - they work for Lady Mary and Sir Josslyn Gore-Booth at Lissadell. As well as her housework and duties, Lily helps out in the local school of needlework - she hopes it might be a step on the way to her dream of being a teacher.Though they work hard, there's lots of fun to be had at Lissadell - like friendship, fun and madcap bicycle rides with Sir Josslyn's niece Maeve, daughter of the famous Republican, Constance Markievicz.Before Nellie came to Lissadell, she had a hard life in the workhouse, where she was separated from her family. So when Lily and Maeve manage to track down Nellie's long lost sister, Johanna, and fix it so she comes to Lissadell as Lady Mary's maid Nellie is overjoyed. But when a valuable locket goes missing, Johanna is the chief suspect; should Lily take the blame, so that the sisters can stay together?
