CLEOPATRA'S SISTER

The separate histories of Howard Beamish, Lucy Faulkner and a mythical country called Callimbia dominate the first part of this delightful book. In the second part all three converge when a plane carrying the two protagonists makes an emergency landing in Callimbia, where a political revolution is taking place. Nadia May delineates each character with slight nuances of speech and pitch. Her warm, witty portrayals of the Callimbians are especially good. The combination of excellent text and wonderful reader makes for an entertaining presentation. S.F.W. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: AUG 94]
