Carlotta Brentan's narration is a master class in poignant storytelling. Gelfuso's novel, featuring an 11-year-old girl who is trapped in time space, is a thoughtful exploration of memory, grief, and the abuse of power. Her writing is clear, emotionally grounded, and well paced. The story unfolds with quiet intensity and engaging characters that keep the listener entranced. Brentan conveys Gelfuso's poetic prose with grace and precision, drawing listeners into a world in which time bends and memory can be transformed. Brentan's narration anchors Gelfuso's evocative and layered writing with empathy and control. Her tone perfectly matches the audiobook's mood. The combination of Gelfuso's writing and Brentan's performance makes for a compelling experience that is immersive, melancholic, and quietly transformative--a beautiful pairing of voice and vision.
