Description
Olivia Curtis's 17th birthday brings a mix of gifts and anticipation. A china ornament, a ten-shilling note, and a roll of flame-coloured silk are among the presents she receives, each one hinting at the events that will unfold. As Olivia prepares for her first dance, she faces uncertainty and excitement about what this moment might bring. For those who have experienced similar social occasions, the emotions Olivia feels may be familiar. This novel explores the daydreams and miseries attendant upon such events, capturing the emotions of a girl standing poised on the threshold of womanhood. Rosamond Lehmann's writing perfectly conveys the complexities of this pivotal moment in life.
