A SHOWGIRL'S RULES FOR FALLING IN LOVE

Paige Reisenfeld introduces listeners to Phoebe Blair, a historian who is hired by Armitage Gallier to research the relationship between his ancestor, Thomas Gallier, and the plus-sized vaudeville star Evelyn Cross. As Phoebe grows closer to Armitage, she notices the parallels between the story she is investigating and her own feelings for her employer. Reisenfeld's narration differentiates the timelines and their associated characters through the deft use of pacing, emotions, and accents. Her skill allows listeners to keep pace with both stories. Phoebe's fascination with Evelyn's determination to stay true to herself makes them both enjoyable and unique heroines. E.J.F. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2025]
