Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

As I dove into the captivating world of Artifice, I found myself completely immersed in the artful ambiance of Amsterdam before the war. Saskia Maarleveld's narration was a delightful experience, as she skillfully portrayed the complexities of each character with vivid and expressive voices. Her ability to convey the emotional turmoil of the story, while maintaining a steady pace, made it difficult for me to pause my listening. However, there were moments where the narrative felt slightly disjointed, which broke the flow of the story. Despite this, Artifice remains an enthralling audiobook that offers a unique perspective on the impact of war on the arts and the power of love to illuminate even the darkest of times.
