Description: A diary for her thoughts, a china ornament, a ten-shilling note, and a roll of flame-coloured silk for her first evening dress: these are the gifts Olivia receives for her seventeenth birthday. She anticipates her first dance. For her charming elder sister, the dance is certain to be a triumph, but what will it be for shy, awkward Olivia?
