Cornelia Englehart is a lonely girl who drives people away with her
knowledge of uncommon words. Who could blame her, when the only peers
she socializes with are daughters of women who are just dying to spend time with
her mother, a world famous pianist. Cornelia would love to spend some
time with her mother as well, since Lucille Englehart is always touring
the world or holed up in her piano room practicing for her next world
tour. Cornelia feels like her life has no meaning, until Virginia
Somerset moves next-door with her crazy dog Mister Kinyatta. Virginia
also has a love for words, and tells great stories of her adventures around
the world with her sisters, Alexandra, Beatrice and Gladys. Cornelia
finds herself lost in the world of Virginia's past. Can Virginia help
Cornelia come out of her shell, or will she hide behind words forever?
Cornelia isn't the only one who
gets completely wrapped into Virginia's stories. I was completely enraptured with the tales, too. I could
totally picture the souk in India, the hidden palace in Morroco and the
Haughty club in England.Cornelia and the Audacious Escapades of the Somerset Sisters is a heart-warming read, one that I've poured through multiple times. I strongly suggest this book to anyone and everyone.
