‘Lily and Me’ is a memoir written from the point of view of a thirteen year old girl. My mother, Lily and I travel to Europe and settle down in a medieval village in the South of France in the year 1965. Lily is an alcoholic.

I relish the life and adventures I have in and around Haut de Cagnes, a village occupied by expatriates, artists and an international set of lesbians. My mother becomes involved with a charismatic Irish woman, Noel and before long we move into ‘Le Cave’ an apartment underneath her house.
