Set in Stone

Though a challenging read due to its formal early 1900s language, Set in Stone is quite the page-turner! Fresh university graduate Samuel Godwin arrives at the Four Winds to tutor the estate's two teenage girls in art, where he soon senses that all is not as it seems. Meanwhile, the girls' young governess, Charlotte Agnew, is reluctantly reaching similar conclusions. What lurid secret drove away the last art tutor and last governess in quick succession? Did it have anything to do with the girls' mother's tragic death? The beauty and power of this book brought tears to my eyes in the closing pages. Highly recommended for teens and adults.
