20 Hrs. 40 Min. is a classic tale of adventure from which the entire world should understand once and for all that flying transcends gender or other such misconceptions.
Amelia Earhart became the first woman to cross the Atlantic by airplane and this is her personal account of that historic flight.
Amelia expresses herself in writing with accuracy, originality, and elegance. I absolutely love her memoirs and I am grateful that such a talented narrator and connoisseur of aviation as Pamela Almand takes me on these unforgettable adventures.
For those of you who don’t know yet, Pamela is an award-winning narrator and former pilot. She is extremely talented, and thanks to an excellent performance in which she manages to capture Amelia‘s Midwest twang, we, as listeners, are treated to a completely immersive narrative experience.
I think that the job of any audiobook narrator is to create a sense that one is inside the story, living it alongside the main character, instead of just looking in from the outside.
Pamela has the skills and the knowledge to do exactly that. Her enthusiasm at the opportunity to perform for us these daring adventures is evident right from the beginning: from the heartfelt introduction written by herself, the good vibes permeate throughout the audio production.
Between the introduction and the actual journey there is a foreword narrated by Karen Commins that also helps shed some light upon Amelia‘s beautiful and noble character.
20 Hrs. 40 Min.: Our Flight in the Friendship: The American Girl, First Across the Atlantic by Air, Tells Her Story springs to colorful and vivid relief in the listener’s imagination as an audio journey thanks to another truly captivating and completely immersive performance delivered expertly by multiple award-winning narrator Pamela Almand.
I highly recommend this audiobook to everyone and anyone who wants to discover new details about the endlessly fascinating Amelia Earhart and to those interested by the history of aviation.
