From AudioFile:

Kate Hood's clear and gentle voice is ideal for narrating the journey of Simone Fleurier. Belinda Alexandra's heroine becomes the listener's personal guide through a tumultuous slice of place and history, provincial and urban France before and during WWII. Besides giving Simone the authentic tone of a maturing young woman, Hood also provides believable voices for male characters, ranging from the gruff uncle to the urbane Andr&EACUTE;. The descriptions of the Proven�al countryside are as compelling as the details of the European music halls, where Simone rises to fame. This twenty-hour romantic escape is conveniently presented on two CDs, although an MP3-compatible player is required. R.F. � AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine-- Copyright � AudioFile, Portland, Maine
