Set in the nineteenth century, ten-year-old Daisy Grey is delighted to be moving to Oxfordshire with her parents to start a new life. Daisy’s father has at last found the perfect new home, in Lavender Farm, to rent, wanting nothing more than to farm the land and provide a decent life for his family, after living in a run-down cottage for years and struggling to earn a living as an odd job man. Although disappointed on arriving at Lavender Farm to find it not in the pristine condition that they’d been expecting, nothing could dampen the family’s spirits, and Sam and Megan Grey, along with their daughter, set about restoring the run-down farm. After a dreadful tragedy occurs, shattering the entire family and leaving young Daisy in dire circumstances, it soon becomes apparent that the landlord and his wife have a darker side to them and Daisy becomes victim to their cruel plan. Daisy’s life is marred by unfortunate circumstances and by her trepidation of the dreaded workhouse. When Daisy’s path is crossed by a young homeless orphan from London, after she is forced to flee from her work in service, it marks the beginning of a friendship which finds them soon becoming inseparable. As Daisy is forced to quickly mature, her strong and dependable friendship with Alvin Clarke becomes bound by love. But life for the young couple is destined to change dramatically with the onset of the Crimean war.

Lilly Adam, wife, mother, and grandmother. I was born in London where I spent my early childhood. From a young age, I always had a passion for reading, writing stories, and poetry. With maturity my interest in history blossomed, especially for the Victorian era; it was a period in history that saw so much change and an abundance of new and life-changing inventions and laws, making it such an interesting era to study. Having a lifelong ambition to become an author, it was after a long pause whilst raising my family in Oxfordshire, that I finally found the time and brain space to put pen to paper and begin. My debut novel, May of Ashley Green was published in February 2017. I have since published a further twelve novels and continue to write. Turning my passion into a fulfilling career as a professional author has been one of my greatest life achievements.

5.0 out of 5 stars wonderful characters

Daisy Grey is another delightful book by Lilly Adam. I love all her books, not just because she keeps things moving and entertaining, but because she doesn't just end a book. After the climax is reached, she continues on and lets us see how the future worked out for all characters, not just the main characters, but the minor ones also. Daisy Grey starts off with a good life, not a rich life, her family is not rich, but they have given her much love. Tragedy strikes while Daisy is still young, and she suffers greatly before things start to get better. Because she is kind hearted, many kind-hearted people help her overcome the dire consequences inflicted upon her by harsh and evil people. Many enjoyable minor characters populate the story, and the characters are all vividly portrayed. I have already started another of Lilly's books and will review it when I finish it.

Was a little difficult to get into but then I was captured. Lots of things happening, and makes you want to read on. I got to really dislike one character and live others..
There are a lot if people to follow. In this story each with their own problem, which in turn gets resolved.
I liked the last chapter which tells you what you would wonder with some books.

Orphaned at 10 by a tragic accident, Daisy Grey faces a series of unfortunate events but overcomes them all by being brave and hardworking. This story is full but flat. Not exactly as unforgettable as its title claims.
