Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Immerse yourself in the tense atmosphere of post-war Berlin as narrators Gloria Sanders and Imogen Church bring Kate Furnivall's evocative tale to life. Their performances are nuanced, with each character distinct and compelling. The story is a gripping exploration of trust, betrayal, and survival, set against the backdrop of the Berlin airlifts. However, some parts feel overly lengthy and could benefit from a tighter edit. The emotional depth and historical authenticity make 'Child of the Ruins' a must-listen for fans of historical fiction, but it might be too intense for those seeking lighter fare.
