From AudioFile:
Pippa Fane is a young British ballerina who is touring with her company in Venice. She has a bittersweet romance with a young gondolier and a disturbing interlude with her ballet mistress. The melodious and youthful voice of Patricia Jones is the perfect vehicle for this story. Her presentation brings warmth to a lovely young woman; she also portrays a scheming older woman and a manipulative Italian man with style and distinction. Since there's little action, but much in the mind of the main character, an excellent story is turned into an enjoyable audio experience through Jones's performance. S.G.B.
