In Swimming in the Daylight, Lisa C. Paul relates her own complex experience living in the Soviet Union in the 1980s. Audio performer Tavia Gilbert is clearly a gifted actor. Her performance is heartfelt, animated, and very funny. Her diction and pacing are perfect. In particular, she has great fun with a variety of Russian voices and accents. Thanks to Gilbert and Paul, this audiobook highlights an important time in the Soviet Union’s history as well as tells an inspiring true story.—Audible Editor Review
