GIRL IN THE DARK A Memoir

Hannah Curtis narrates the author's story of the progressive light sensitivity that banished her to a blacked-out room for long periods of time. Lyndsey goes into great detail about what audiobooks mean to her in her dark room, making listening a poignant experience. Curtis is a strong narrator whose mixture of emotion and careful detachment is able to make the listener believe that it is her own story she's telling. It's a powerful performance. Many books are improved by listening if the performance is excellent, but there are few that convey a greater understanding of the subject matter through listening than reading. GIRL IN THE DARK is one of these. J.L.K. © AudioFile 2015, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2015]
