Review: Even in Darkness by Barbara Stark-Nemon, read by Jilly Bond
Even in Darkness is an award-winning novel written with clear love, respect and dedication by Barbara Stark-Nemon. A historical drama, based on a true story inspired by the lives of members of the author’s family, Even in Darkness is a captivating tale filled with fascinating characters, drama, loss, hardship, but also love and hope.
Spanning three continents, two World Wars and a century, Even in Darkness delighted and entertained me endlessly.
With over 300 audiobooks recorded and four AudioFile Magazine Earphones Awards to her name, talented theater actor Jilly Bond does a phenomenal job with the audio production for Even in Darkness. She enthusiastically reads, acts and brings all of the characters to life, switching seamlessly between voices and accents.
It’s obvious that she enjoyed working on this project and I’m glad to see that even after five years since the initial publication date, this powerful story has made its way to listeners around the world. Also, I really appreciated the fact that the author, Barbara Stark-Nemon, took time to record the acknowledgments section at the end of the audiobook. It was really interesting to hear her talking directly to us.
Barbara Stark-Nemon delivered already a truly captivating journey to readers when she first released Even in Darkness in 2015, but now, that experience is made even better by the superb performance brought to listeners by the extremely talented Jilly Bond.
