Escape from Mariupol

A Survivor's True Story

De: Adoriana Marik, Anne K. Howard

Narrado por: Jennifer Jill Araya

In early 2022, life in the port city of Mariupol, Ukraine was safe and predictable for Adoriana Marik.

The thirty-one-year-old tattoo artist loved walking her dog by the seaside and meeting friends at cafés and public gardens. But all that changed on February 24, 2022, when Russian President Vladimir Putin launched his “special military operation.”

Adoriana was forced to hide in a filthy network of basements and underground tunnels. For more than a month, under deafening round-the-clock bombardment, she huddled with little food or water and no heat, surrounded by groans from the sick and the smell of death. She decided to escape.

Escape from Mariupol: A Survivor’s True Story is the account of her perilous journey to freedom, an incredible tale of a brave young woman’s indomitable will to survive. As told to award-winning author Anne K. Howard, the book is a must-hear for those who appreciate stories of extraordinary courage.

Valuable perspective

I have followed the war in Ukraine, since it began, and have felt impotent outrage and grief for that country and its people. I am very thankful. The author had courage to tell her story, and I hope it has a very wide audience. The truth just rings through so clearly.

Eye-opening

Beautifully done with outstanding narration. Escape from Mariupol is a fascinating listen about one woman’s survival from the war in the Ukraine. I am surprised that we don’t hear more about the horrors that the Ukraine people are being subjected to in our daily press. It would be a fascinating movie.
