Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Bahni Turpin's narration in 'Opal Lee and What It Means to Be Free' is nothing short of exceptional. Her tone is soothing yet energetic, perfectly capturing Opal's spirit without overwhelming the story. The pacing is just right, moving through Opal’s life events with a balance that allows for both depth and excitement. While the audiobook is brief, it packs a powerful punch, reminding us all to cherish our freedoms and fight for those who are still waiting. A few moments could have benefited from more detailed narration to fully convey the significance of Opal's message, but this is a minor quibble in an otherwise outstanding performance.
