After the death of her elderly husband, Lady Submit Channing-Downes is left with one last wifely obligation to fulfill. Her husband has let it be known through his will that she is to deliver a small, black box to its rightful owner - Graham Wessit, The Earl of Netham.
The delivery of this box ,however, is not so cut and dried as Submit had originally assumed. Upon meeting the notorious Lord Wessit, she becomes entangled deeply into his life and all of the troubles and relationships that comprise it. During this time as Submit and Graham grow closer, Submit makes many new and shocking discoveries about both her late husband and herself.
"Black Silk" was a dark, intelligently written story. Miss Ivory has an obvious love for her work and for words. She weaves this tale and all of its pieces together seamlessly.
