Claim Now The Little School: Tales Of Disappearance And Survival Articulated By Julia Alvarez Ready In Interactive Format
was really looking forward to The Little School House, the story of the secret detention center in Argentina in the late seventies, As it was about people telling their stories, I decided on listening the audiobook version, which unfortunately was a big mistake, I found the audiobook, narrated by Yazmin Venegas, quite unbearable, I suggest anyone considering buying this to at least listen to the sample available on the audible website before purchasing, I have not given the book a rating, and intend to get around to the text version sometime soon,
Please note this is about my dissatisfaction with this particular recording and not a complaint about Ms, Venegas.
