I received a copy of the Audiobook the myth of Surrender from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
Overall I enjoyed listening to this book. The narrator Carlotta Brentan read with a lot of emotion which helped getting invested in the story. The characters developed a lot through the story and I found the plot really well thought-out. I will suggest looking at trigger warnings as a lot happens in the book. Finally I think this book is a great learning experience For anyone wanting to learn a bit about the history of adoption and how it can affect the women and girls who were forced to give up their babies.
