THE GATE OF ANGELS

No matter how ordered life becomes, sometimes serendipity happens. It's 1912 in London and Cambridge. Daisy is a young woman short on options, and Fred's position at Angels College depends on giving up any claim to a personal life. When they are literally thrown together in a collision of bicycle and farm cart, routine and convention simply have to bend a bit. Nadia May winks her way through this presentation with true storyteller's aplomb. She gets listeners past the myriad details of time and place by cheery good will. Her warmth and perkiness affirm a cute story, and her bubbly pacing ensures that, like the best cute things, it's brief. D.J. © AudioFile 2000, Portland, Maine [Published: AUG/SEP 00]
