JACOB'S OATH

Revenge is a powerful emotion that comes to life in Fletcher’s probing audiobook. Jacob Klein seeks to avenge his brother’s death at the hands of “the Rat,” a Nazi concentration camp guard—as well as the rape of his love, Sarah Kaufman, by a Russian soldier. Both Jacob and Sarah must integrate the love they have for each other, and the future they desire, with their need for justice and closure. George Guidall delivers the delicate balance needed to bring this complex, emotional story to audio. The result is a dynamic and, at times, chilling presentation. Guidall accentuates the characters’ psyches and emotions, allowing the listener to fully appreciate the fragility of Sarah and Jacob’s romance. D.J.S.
