28 DAYS A Novel of Resistance in the Warsaw Ghetto

Narrator Amanda Dolan plunges listeners into the disturbing first-person narrative of 17-year-old Mira, who is attempting to survive in the Warsaw Ghetto and keep her mother and sister alive. Immediately, Dolan reveals the terrible mix of fear and desperation that sends Mira sneaking into the Polish markets to buy and smuggle food back into the despairing ghetto. In an emotive performance Dolan vivifies a world that narrows in possibilities even as Mira’s courage, strategic capabilities, and hope widen. Though listeners know the fate of those who lived in the Warsaw Ghetto, Dolan reveals the brutalities, as well the beauty and love, Mira discovers during 28 days of resisting the Nazis. A powerful listen. S.W. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2020]
