Editor's Review

AudioBook Atlas Editorial Team

I was captivated by the way Vaneh Assadourian's narration wove together Jacqueline Saper's story of growing up in Iran. The production quality is superb, and Assadourian's voice is well-suited to Saper's reflective narrative. One of the strengths of this audiobook is its thoughtful pacing, which allows listeners to absorb the complexities of Saper's experiences. At times, I felt that the narrative could have benefited from more dramatic tension, and a few transitions between scenes felt a bit abrupt. Nonetheless, this is a powerful and thought-provoking memoir that sheds light on a pivotal moment in Iranian history.
