Set in Silver

Set in Silver by C.N. Williamson is a travelog told through letters following beautiful young music teacher Audrie as she teaches a 19-year-old orphan named Ellaline, and falls in love with her dashing guardian. Excerpt: «Darling Little French Mother: Things have happened. Fire-crackers! Roman candles! rockets! But don't be frightened. They're all in my head. Nevertheless, I haven't had such a Fourth of July since I was a small girl in America and stood on a tin pail with a whole pack of fire-crackers popping away underneath. Isn't it funny, when you have a lot to tell, it's not half as easy to write a letter as when you've nothing at all to say and must make up for lack of matter by weaving phrases?»
