THE GIRLS AT THE KINGFISHER CLUB

"The Twelve Dancing Princesses" never had more fun than the 12 Hamilton sisters in this new take on the old tale. Susie Berneis keeps the energy high as the girls slip away from their overprotective father each night to partake of the glamour of New York City's nightlife in the Roaring Twenties. Berneis keeps the girls fresh and alive as they visit speakeasies, flirt with gangsters and reprobates, and dance the night away with men of all stripes. When their father believes they're up to something more sinful, he determines to marry them off or have them committed to institutions. Berneis sounds appropriately distressed as Jo, the eldest sister and narrator of the book, takes matters into her own hands. S.J.H. © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2014]
