In this delightful audiobook, young Frederica is being raised in a college dormitory, the only child of professors whose lofty ideals have yet to solidify in their daughter's mind. Intrigue ensues with the on-campus arrival of Miss French, the first wife of Frederica's father. Lipman's irresistible storytelling features charming descriptions and three-dimensional characters with crisp edges and vibrant colors. Mia Barron's performance is utterly appropriate for Lipman's style. Her animated voice sounds fresh and earnest, and she's engaging from the outset. Each member of this lively cast is given a distinct voice, and Barron's understanding of the text's humor and gentle social commentary is evident in a splendid reading. L.B.F.

HTML:<p>Born and raised in a college dorm and chafing under the care of "the most annoyingly evenhanded parental team in the history of civilization," Frederica Hatch is starting to feel that her life is stiflingly snug. But then, into this cozy but claustrophobic world, comes Laura Lee French, a wannabe Rockette and the new dorm mother at the lackluster women's college where Frederica's parents teach and agitate. Further disturbing the peace is the fact that Miss French—in the distant past—had been married to Frederica's earnest and unglamorous father. Fearing scandal and campus glee, the three Hatches and Laura Lee attempt to keep their secret.</p>. “Lipman creates that rare blend of no-nonsense compassion and believable, offbeat innocence that is completely irresistible…. Expect demand for this novel and renewed interest in Lipman's previous seven. Highly recommended.". HTML:<i>Library Journal (starred review)</i>. Fiction. Media Type: Audiobook.
