ALCHEMY OF A BLACKBIRD

Earphones Award Winner

by | Read by Aida Reluzco, Zac Aleman, Raquel Beattie, Carlotta Brentan, Erin deWard, Ella Lynch

Historical Fiction • 8.5 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2022

Six narrators add unique layers to this well-researched novel featuring Surrealist artist Remedios Varo, a refugee who is fleeing Europe during WWII. Each narrator takes on a different point of view. With her warm tone and rich timbre, Aida Reluzco sets a captivating mood in the chapters involving Remedios. Between each chapter, Erin deWard delivers a mesmerizing Tarot card reading that introduces the upcoming principal character. The narrators adopt the native accents of the various expatriate painters and art collectors who make up the novel. The overall effect of the Tarot card readings, myriad perspectives, and accents, along with Reluzco's rendering of Remedios, is positively entrancing. L.T.
