Mary Walton is the apple of her father's eye; his only comfort during the dark years of the Depression when he is faced with both unemployment and a nagging, ambitious wife.
His only hope is that Mary will one day find a way to escape the grinding poverty of the Tyneside slums. But when a secret is revealed these dreams are shattered and the lives of the Walton family change forever. . .
Spanning Mary's life from the 1930's to the 1970's, *Pure as the Lily* is a spellbinding, unforgettable tale from one of Britain's most cherished novelists.
