Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Sarah Borges' narration is the heart of this audiobook. Her ability to convey Edith's quiet strength and growing despair is nothing short of remarkable. Borges' German accent, when used sparingly, adds an authentic touch. The story, however, can feel heavy at times, with some pacing issues during the middle act. Yet, Kummerow's exploration of love, loyalty, and betrayal in a crumbling world is so compelling that it's easy to overlook these minor flaws. The production is clean, with no distracting background noise, allowing Borges' performance to shine.
