The Wax Child

Freya Miller’s performance is nothing short of mesmerizing; her reading captures both the eerie calm and deep tension that pervade The Wax Child. Her vocal range perfectly complements Olga Ravn's intricate narrative, making even the most abstract concepts feel tangible. The story follows Christenze Krukow as she crafts a wax doll in 17th-century Denmark, only to be drawn into a dark web of magic and obsession. The pacing is deliberate, allowing for moments of introspection that add layers of meaning to an already compelling plot. A few overly dense passages might slow down the narrative at times, but they are ultimately rewarding. This audiobook is a must-listen for fans of literary fiction and those who crave stories with a touch of magic and mystery.
