Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Angela Dawe's narration is the heart of this audiobook. She beautifully captures Rifka's innocence, courage, and resilience, making her a character you can't help but root for. The pacing is perfect, building tension and suspense as Rifka faces each new challenge. The production is minimalistic, allowing the story and narration to shine. However, I found the transition between letters a bit jarring at times, as they occasionally jump abruptly from one event to another. Despite this, Letters from Rifka is a powerful and engaging listen that will resonate with both children and adults.
