Candle Island

Emily Rankin’s nuanced performance as Lucretia Sanderson is nothing short of exceptional; her voice conveys both the childlike wonder and the growing sense of loss with remarkable authenticity. Lauren Wolk’s dual narration adds another layer of depth, making the listener feel like an intimate witness to the unfolding story. The pacing is deliberate yet engaging, ensuring that each detail feels meaningful. A few sections could benefit from a slightly more dynamic pace to maintain momentum, but overall, this audiobook is a moving and beautifully crafted experience that captures the essence of healing through art.
