Interesting take on the fairy tale Twelve Dancing Princesses. The roaring twenties come alive with speakeasies, jazz, and, of course, dancing. The sisters are well-drawn characters, especially Jo and Lou. I would have liked to know more of the father\\\'s background, his relationship with their mother, his character (which seemed very flat). The final scene came a bit too quickly and neatly; might have been better done as an epilogue. The use of parentheses was unnecessary and drove me crazy until I just ignored them!
