Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

As I listened to 'Flying Close to the Sun,' Cathy Wilkerson's narration became an integral part of my experience. Her voice, both strong and introspective, perfectly captures her evolving persona from a sheltered young woman to a radical activist. The story’s pacing is deliberate yet engaging, allowing for deep reflection on each pivotal moment in her life. However, the intense nature of some of the content might be overwhelming for casual listeners, making it more suitable for those interested in political activism and history. The audiobook's production quality is impeccable, ensuring that every emotion and nuance is conveyed with clarity and sincerity.
