White Lily (Adel Sisters #1) by Ann-Christin Antell is the #1 most sold title of the month in both printed and audio formats, establishing itself as an instant bestseller.
Ann-Christin Antell returns to the top of the bestselling lists in Finland, this time with White Lily, the first instalment in the Adel Sisters series, with which she has returned to the literary scene after the wonderful success of the Cotton Mill trilogy. Both series are published in Finland by Gummerus.
White Lily is currently the best selling domestic title in both printed and audio format, and is setting the bar high for the rest of the series.
The Adel Sisters trilogy follows three talented and charming sisters in the early 1900s Finland and on their travels in Europe as they try to find their way in the male dominated fields of art and science.
The oldest daughter, Thyra, is an introverted soul focused on mathematics and astronomy. Middle child Lily loves art and aspires to become a painter like her beloved father. The youngest, Kitty, spends her days roaming about forests and lakes and dreams of becoming an archaeologist.
In White Lily (2025) Lily gets to accompany their eccentric grandmother to spend the summer in Florence to further her studies and see the art treasures of the city. It’s the 1910s and modern art is just starting to get a foothold in the art communities in Europe. Before the trip, Lily gets a tempting marriage proposal from a longtime friend, and promises to give an answer upon her return. In Florence, she meets a fetching Italian art patron and an enigmatic Swedish painter who inspire her to discover art, aesthetics, spirituality – and herself. There is no going back to her old ways.
The Adel Sisters is an anticipated, new historical romance series by Ann-Christin Antell (b. 1973). One of the leading romance Finnish authors, Antell studied history and archaeology and worked as a librarian before embarking on her career as an author. Her popular Cotton Mill series spent a long time at the top of the Finnish bestseller lists and has been sold to five countries.
Warm congratulations to the author and the publisher, and don’t miss out on this title!
