Set in Silver

"Set in Silver" by C. N. (Charles Norris) Williamson is a lively story from the early 1900s, focusing on Audrie Brendon, a young woman in France, and her well-to-do friend Ellaline Lethbridge, who is trying to avoid her strict guardian so she can have a romantic meeting. Bright, witty, and adventurous Audrie pens a letter to her mom from Versailles, recounting her friend Ellaline's upcoming wedding to a young French officer, Honoré du Guesclin. Audrie finds herself pulled into Ellaline’s sneaky plans when Ellaline asks her to pretend to be her for a little bit; this leads to funny complications for both of the young women. The opening of the book creates the characters by introducing the audience to their way of life and creating an exciting start to a story that combines friendship, doing what is right, and finding happiness.
