About this listen

In the heat of wartime Manila, 23-year-old American GI Kurt Berlin is recruited by the OSS to return to Europe to aid in the interrogation of captured Nazis. A refugee from the Nazis himself, Berlin discovers the Nazi he’s interpreting is responsible for much of the torment and misery he endured during his escape. And that very same Nazi may hold the key to finding the girl he left behind.

Will the gravitational pull of revenge dislodge his moral compass?

From the terror of pre-war Vienna to the chaos of occupied Brussels, through Kurt’s flight with his family through Nazi-Occupied France, to the destruction of post-war Europe, The Interpreter follows Kurt’s surreal escape and return. How much can a young mind absorb before it explodes?

The book is so well written. You don't want to stop listening as you need to know what happens. Following their lives through this period in history and the way their lives were intertwined being revealed as the story developed.
The narrator brought the characters to life with the accents and the emotions.
I would recommend this to everyone.

Felt as though I was there as the story unfolded

Duncan Galloway, narration was brilliant. Each characters, love, strength, pain , sorrows was heard in his narration.

This book is set in a time of darkness of our modern history, but there is love, family, forgiveness and faith that is the true plot of thus amazing book.

Set in the time of the in invasion of Europe in the second World War. The horror that happened and a family's fight to stay together and fight back.

We meet Kurt Berlin who was sent as a youth in 1939 from Vienna to Brussels by his parents to save him from the Nazis. The story starts us meeting him in 1945, he is now an interpreter in the US army.
The plot has a dual stories happening between 1939 to 1945. We meet and care for these characters and you will be wanting to find out , who survived and found justice.
The heart of this is a love story. Dare you not to care.

Brilliant.

Maybe I would have enjoyed this book if I had read it myself. I gave the story 3* to give it the benefit of the doubt. But the narration was so terrible that it ruined the book. Imagine an eight year old who has learnt to read very well. He's reading out loud to you. He doesn't know all the words, so he mispronounces a lot of them and stumbles over them. He hasn't yet learned how to express the meaning of what he is reading. And when he reads voices, he squeaks a lot of them because he can't work out how to sound like an old man, or a woman, or a girl. He forgets how he did the girl last time, so now she sounds like the old man. You'd forgive an eight year old for reading like this, and be proud of him. But when I'm listening to a novel about horrific things that happened during WWII, I'd like it read by someone who reads more like an actor than a child who's still learning to read. If you read this and still decide to buy the Audible book, don't be put off straight away by the fact that he reads too fast; he does, at least, slow down after the first chapter or two. ... Having slept on this, am I being harsh? Well, I dare say I could have put it more tactfully. But I'm not hoping the narrator is going to read this. I want you to realise that I listened to the end, constantly wondering why I was listening. I can only suppose that I was appreciating the story, but I didn't like the ending, and my memory of the story isn't positive. So I wish I had given up in the first chapters, and can only recommend that you don't bother with listening to this book. Kindle version when it's on offer? Maybe.

Horrendous narration
