Michelle Cooper combines the drama of pre-War Europe with the romance of debutante balls and gives us another compelling historical page turner.
Sophia FitzOsborne and the royal family of Montmaray escaped their remote island home when the Germans attacked, and now find themselves in the lap of luxury. Sophie's journal fills us in on the social whirl of London's 1937 season, but even a princess in lovely new gowns finds it hard to fit in. Is there no other debutante who reads?!
And while the balls and house parties go on, newspaper headlines scream of war in Spain and threats from Germany. No one wants a second world war. Especially not the Montmaravians—with all Europe under attack, who will care about the fate of their tiny island kingdom?
Will the FitzOsbornes ever be able to go home again? Could Montmaray be lost forever?

      Along with her family, Princess Sophie has fled her island kingdom of Montmaray. She describes in her journal both the looming threat of WWII and her social season in London. Emma Bering conveys Sophie's anxiety over mixing with British aristocrats as well as over her family's squabbles. Bering's differentiation of voices for Sophie and the members of her family is unevenly performed. Perfectly rendered, Sophie's Aunt Charlotte emerges as a squawking stickler for propriety. The rest of the narration is less successful. The pacing is slow, and Bering stretches out the words with a painful woebegone drawl. Worst of all is Javier, a Spanish boy who ends up sounding more like a Russian. C.A. (c) AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine
