Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

I was captivated by 'Zulejka otevírá oči' from the start. Lukáš Hlavica's narration is nothing short of exceptional, his ability to shift between characters and accents is commendable. The story's pacing is steady, never rushing through important moments, yet never lingering too long on the mundane. Jachina's writing is powerful, her descriptions of Zulejka's life and the societal changes around her are vivid and evocative. My only critique is that at times, the historical context can feel a bit overwhelming, but it's a small price to pay for such a richly drawn narrative. This audiobook is a gem, a unique perspective on a well-trodden historical period that's not to be missed.
