"Betancourt's riveting account...is an unforgettable epic of moral courage and human endurance." -Los Angeles Times

In the midst of her campaign for the Colombian presidency in 2002, Ingrid Betancourt traveled into a military-controlled region, where she was abducted by the FARC, a brutal terrorist guerrilla organization in conflict with the government. She would spend the next six and a half years captive in the depths of the Colombian jungle. Even Silence Has an End is her deeply moving and personal account of that time. The facts of her story are astounding, but it is Betancourt's indomitable spirit that drives this very special narrative-an intensely intelligent, thoughtful, and compassionate reflection on what it really means to be human.

      The gripping story begins with the author--a hostage in the Amazon rainforest--attempting to escape a wooden cage. The Colombian presidential candidate's third attempt to run away failed. The reasons for her six-year imprisonment emerge during the account of her traumatic memories. In 2002, Betancourt was kidnapped by the FARC, a communist guerilla group trying to liberate Colombian peasants from a corrupt dictatorship. The deep-voiced American narrator, Margaret Nichols, embodies the prisoner's frustrating uncertainty and depression at never knowing if she will be released or executed. Reading an English translation of the original book, Nichols stumbles on the remaining Spanish. Listeners who don't speak the language may not notice, but the author's ethnicity would have been preserved and the audiobook improved with a bilingual narrator. J.A.H.
