If you could sum up Enchantments in three words, what would they be?
poignant, tragic, elegant
Have you listened to any of Julia Emelin and Rustam Kasymov ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I enjoyed Julia Emelin's pronunciation of Russian words. A somewhat halting narrative added to the sense of Masha's naivete.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The deer, domesticated in the czar's park, approaching guards for food and being shot.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
