Editor's Review ★★★☆★

AudioBook Atlas

Emily Janice Card's narration in The Age of Miracles is nothing short of exceptional. Her ability to convey Julia's innocence while hinting at the complex emotions that unfold is truly remarkable. The pacing is deliberate but never languid, allowing each moment to resonate deeply. Despite its heavy subject matter, there are moments of levity and joy that Card deftly balances. However, a few abrupt shifts in tone could have been smoothed out for greater cohesion. Nonetheless, this audiobook delivers a powerful emotional punch that resonates long after the last chapter.
