Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Allison Hiroto’s narration in 'Under Red Skies' is nothing short of brilliant. Her ability to shift between the delicate tones needed for family anecdotes and the authoritative voice required for historical analysis makes every moment engaging. The story unfolds with a balance that keeps you hooked, but there are moments where the pacing feels slightly uneven, particularly during some historical recaps. Despite this, Kan’s personal narrative is so vivid and emotional that it carries the audiobook through its complexities. This book is a must-listen for anyone interested in China’s rise or just curious about the personal stories behind a nation’s transformation.
