Editor's Review ★★★☆★

AudioBook Atlas

Yazmin Venegas’s reading is both precise and emotionally controlled, which makes 'The Little School' a profoundly moving experience. The story unfolds with a relentless pace, capturing the urgency of Partnoy's personal narrative. Each recounting of her experiences—be it the chilling detail of being separated from family or the poignant moments of defiance—is delivered with just the right amount of gravity and sensitivity. However, some sections could benefit from more dynamic narration to fully convey the intensity of Partnoy’s journey. Despite this minor critique, Venegas’ performance is stellar, making 'The Little School' a compelling listen for anyone interested in political activism and human rights during Argentina's darkest years.
