Lillian
by David Cale
Synopsis
Lillian, a bookish middle-aged British woman, falls for Jimmy, a man half her age.
Promptly divorcing her husband, she marries the young man and buys a flower shop to support his desire to be a gardener.
Unbeknownst to Lillian, however, Jimmy has a terminal heart condition, and his anticipation of the end fills him with a restless energy.
