Helen Keller was deaf and blind from a very early age. in this audiobook, she tells us how she experienced the world she lived in, talks about optimism, and at the end also tells a very brief version of her life story.

She writes beautifully, with poetic expressions, colorful language, and rich vocabulary. it's a true joy to hear about her thoughts and experiences. I highly recommend reading her work.

As for the narrator... at first, I found her style to be charming and cute, but after some listening it got quite tiresome to listen to. Strange rhythm and prosody. I feel like listeners will either love it or hate it.

Either way, definitely worth a listen!
