Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Karen Murray’s narration brings ‘Power Hungry’ to life with an authentic and engaging voice that perfectly matches the historical setting. The story of Cleo Silvers is both inspiring and thought-provoking, showing how she and her colleagues navigated complex political landscapes using food as a tool for empowerment. However, at times, the narrative can feel overly descriptive, which might slow down some listeners. Despite this, the audiobook’s production quality is top-notch, with well-researched content that makes it a must-listen for those interested in civil rights history and women’s leadership.
