Nur ein Wort von Dir

About This Audiobook

Sewanee’s entire life has been a carefully curated performance—just not the one she’s onstage for. With dreams of Hollywood stardom in tatters, she takes a job reading audiobooks, where the magic of voice becomes her escape. That’s where she meets Mark Friedman, an acclaimed audiobook narrator whose velvety baritone could melt steel. Theirs is a relationship built on stolen words, late-night studio sessions, and the kind of intimacy that blooms when you hear someone’s soul before you ever see their face. Julia Whelan crafts a romance that’s as much about the *sound* of love as it is about its messy reality—think audiobook nirvana meets emotional gut-punch.

What makes this audiobook electric is Sandrine Mittelstädt’s narration, which doesn’t just deliver dialogue—it *inhabits* it. Her seamless switch between Sewanee’s sharp wit, Mark’s smoldering warmth, and the gravel of other characters’ voices creates a full-cast illusion with a single performer. The production leans into the audiobook’s meta layer: breathless studio scenes feel like eavesdropping on a love letter, while the silences between exchanged words hum with tension. Whelan’s script revels in the paradox of modern romance—how we fall for faceless voices online, only to risk everything when the face finally appears.
