Lavender, Hyacinth, Violet, Yew (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781839043673)

Beautiful and deeply moving: a testament to the indomitable flowering of queer identity and found family through grief and the cracks of time. --The Stage

Nineteen-year-old Pip is trying to find themselves through gardening. But with a dad more interested in plants than people and a mum stuck in the past, they're left to ponder life's questions alone.

Then one day, they uncover a jacket in the attic that's been gathering dust. Bold, vibrant, and very '80s, in its pocket lies a diary belonging to someone long gone. Swept up in the mystery, Pip digs into the past, unearthing secrets about an old friend their parents don't want to discuss...

Funny, affecting, and beautifully queer, Coral Wylie's play Lavender, Hyacinth, Violet, Yew tracks one family's efforts to assuage the past and plant the seeds of a better future.
