WHILE THE MUSIC PLAYS

In the new Confederate capitol of Richmond, on the eve of the Civil War, the beautiful widow of a prominent senator is drawn into a dangerous game of espionage by a treacherously attractive army officer posing as a defector from the North. One is in good hands with reader Anna Fields. She sets this costume drama before the listener with ladylike enthusiasm, obviously having a good time. Her accents and character voices are satisfactory, but tone and pacing carry the day. J.N. © AudioFile 2000, Portland, Maine [Published: JUN/JUL 00]
