Spring, 1922. Tessa is a beautiful, tiny, dark-eyed princess who’s given up her duties to follow her heart and work backstage at the Viennese opera. She keeps her true identity a well-guarded secret, but when a wealthy, handsome Englishman discovers this bewitching urchin backstage, Tessa’s two lives collide - and in escaping her inheritance, she finds her destiny....

the reader has a pleasant voice when normal, but the squeaks, grates, shrieks .... just no.

delightful story spoiled by the reader

This narrator was great, except for the mispronunciation of German words. It took some time for me to realize what the words were. Emphasis on the wrong syllable and mixing up ie and ei were the primary problems. The characterizations were wonderful, though, and the story was charming.

Strong Performance with a Flaw

I really enjoyed this tale set in Austria. The kind caring backstage worker at the opera who has a passion for her work. Guy and Martha - hard working, caring people. Juxtaposed by the greedy self interested woman who would like to marry Guy. All the quaint characters bought to life by the narration of Kate Lock. She does and incredible job of narrating them all and making it sound like a whole cast of narrators.

Very entertaining.

A sweet story - vintage Eva Ibbotson. The reading is the worst in my experience. Puerile, overwrought, over emphatic, very difficult to take.

Nice book, dreadful reading

The accents and voices the narrator does for the characters are so tortured and overwrought that this book is unlistenable. Read the book yourself, it is a cute story.

An unfortunate audiobook
