Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

I was immediately drawn into the world of 'Quando eravamo orfani'. Siravo's narration is so evocative, it's like he's whispering the story directly into your ear. The production quality is top-notch, with no distracting background noise or awkward pauses. Ishiguro's exploration of memory and loss is as profound as ever, but what truly sets this audiobook apart is its exploration of childhood innocence. The story is told from the perspective of a child, and Siravo nails the naivety and wonder of youth. My only critique is that the pacing can feel a bit slow at times, but this is a small price to pay for the rich, detailed world-building. Overall, this is a stunning audiobook that will stay with you long after you've listened to the final words.
