Editor's Review ★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Beth Eyre’s narration in 'Hiding from the Light' is both hauntingly powerful and incredibly engaging. Her performance brings Liza to life with an authenticity that makes her struggles feel deeply personal. The pacing is well-balanced, with moments of tense suspense interwoven seamlessly with quieter, more reflective scenes. However, some listeners might find the sheer volume of historical detail overwhelming; a few more streamlined narratives could enhance the storytelling even further. Despite this, Erskine’s intricate plotting and vivid descriptions make 'Hiding from the Light' a compelling listen that will keep you hooked until the very end.
