I finished Drowned Maiden's Hair, A Melodrama and moved on to Cornelia and the Audacious Escapades of the Somerset Sisters. What a switch! Cornelia is a lonely young lady who has trouble making friends in school. She has a famous mother and thinks people always compare her to her Mom. She makes an unlikely acquaintance when a quirky elderly lady moves in across the hall from her apartment. They becomes fast friends through their love of unusual words. Victoria Somerset enchants her young friend with adventures from around the world.
It reminded me of the Tales of Shaherazade or Arabian Nights. The great stories Victoria shares opens Cornelia's eyes to the possibilities in the world. This is a great story to share with a friend!
