Cousins Kate and Cecy were both expecting to be bored silly this Season, with Kate in London and Cecy in the country. However, it is quickly becoming more interesting. A witch tried to poison Kate at the Royal Society (hot chocolate doesn't usually burn a hole in one's gown). There's a man who is spying on Cecy, and not doing a very good job of it, either, oh, and ever since he was turned into a tree, Oliver hasn't bothered to tell anyone where he is. Written as a series of letters between the high-spirited girls, Sorcery and Cecilia is not very fast-paced, with a story that takes its time unfolding, and is one of my all-time favorite books. I love books about old-fashioned high society.
Very nice description of this book. Maybe I should read the next one!
ReplyDeleteOh, and I really liked the cake of the same title. :))

ReplyDeleteYou should definetley read the next one.
ReplyDeleteI thought this story was very engaging and moved along at a good pace. At the end of the book the two authors describe how they co wrote it. It started out as a game, sending letters back and forth, and each successive letter developed the plot further. In other words it was not written by one author in a linear fashion, but by two people. Neither would know ahead of time which direction the other was going! How fun :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, I keep wanting to try it but i cant 'cause I dont know anyone else who wants to.
ReplyDeleteYou know, a lot of my favorite characters from book are called Kate.
