Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Thom Rivera’s narration is smooth and alluring, perfectly capturing the sultry essence of Havana. His portrayal of Patricio's transformation from a hopeful immigrant to a respected store runner is compelling. Cynthia Farrell as Elvira, the mysterious store owner, brings an air of mystery that keeps you guessing. The pacing is just right—slightly languid at times but never dragging. Specific critiques include occasional overemphasis on certain words, which might distract slightly from the narrative flow. Nonetheless, 'The Price of Paradise' delivers a captivating tale that will transport listeners to the heart of Cuba's golden age.
