STARRING ADELE ASTAIRE

Both women are fearless and determined, and as their friendship grows, they learn to juggle fame, love, and loss amid the devastation of war. The narration and production of this audiobook are outstanding. Both narrators capture the characters. Listeners will feel like they've become part of Adele's story.
