I WAS NEVER THE FIRST LADY

by | Read by Krizia Bajos, Frankie Corzo

Fiction • 6.5 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2021

Krizia Bajos and Frankie Corzo narrate this translated historical fiction audiobook set primarily in Cuba. Wondering about her mother's abandonment and dealing with her own dissatisfaction with life lead Nadia around the world. She uncovers family secrets while struggling to find her place and attempting to finish the story her mother could not. Bajos and Corzo perform two characters' points of view. With clipped tones and a slight Cuban accent, Bajos captures Nadia's intensity and internal struggle. Corzo's softer tones draw the listener into Nadia's mother's story, intertwined within the narrative. The meandering novel's extensive characters require performers who ensure that listeners can differentiate among them. At the same time, the narrators' similar voices add to the flow of the novel.
