Lily Green is an attractive middle-aged woman struggling with many things; with loneliness, mortality, an awkward teenage daughter, an angry ex-husband, a grief stricken neighbour and an abundance of guilt for the way she has lived her life.
On an unbearably hot summer day, she finally realises that there is a chance to change things; that entire worlds can turn on minor incidents and these are the events that can shift a delightful fantasy into reality.
Less romantic and more a slice of life, ‘Lily Green’, is the fourth part of James Eddy’s ‘Diamonds’ collection of Short Stories that also includes ‘Heart over Head over Heels’, ‘Bewilder’ and ‘Bonfire Blues’.
