Synopsis
The story of a young girl's coming of age in Canada and abroad tells the story of Monica Gall, born in the small Ontario village of Salterton where, by all rights, she should have spent her life. However, a scholarship enables her to travel to Europe to study music, and, eventually, she becomes a celebrated singer. After several years abroad, Monica returns to find Salterton much less altered than she is.

New York Times (08/31/1958)
