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.
