PERSIST

Author/narrator Elizabeth Warren's conversational audiobook details the personal stories behind many of the policies she has fought for. The Massachusetts senator's consistent and leisurely pace allows listeners to focus on detailed plans involving taxing the ultra-rich to benefit the poor and middle class. She shifts seamlessly to a sharper tone while recalling her debates with powerful politicians dodging questions about sexual harassment--an inspiration for women long bullied into silence. In detailing her brother's death from COVID-19, Warren's impassioned voice makes clear the vital importance of preparing now for the next pandemic. Warren isn't leaving politics anytime soon, and listeners will enjoy a remarkable introduction to a keen strategist in this audiobook. A.K.R. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2021]
