Intro by Gitta and Dialogues 1, 2, 3


Talking with Angels is an awe-inspiring true story that will captivate the hearts and minds of anyone on an independent spiritual path.

Join Shelley Mitchell on a transformational journey as she brings to life the personal notes of Gitta Mallasz, a young Hungarian woman who, along with her three Jewish friends, experienced a life-changing spiritual encounter during the darkest days of the Nazi occupation in Budapest.

Talking with Angels became a guiding light for Shelley when she was going through her own existential crisis in the 1980s. Skeptical yet intrigued, she delved into the pages of this personal account and found solace, regained her voice, and emerged from her crisis with renewed purpose.

Years later, Shelley had the privilege of meeting the publisher of Talking with Angels and he showed her videos of Gitta Mallasz reflecting on her otherworldly experience at 80 years old. Inspired beyond measure, Shelley adapted the book into a solo stage play that has been performed at festivals, churches, and small theaters in the United States and Europe.

Now, Shelley is thrilled to bring elements of her powerful stage performance into this new audiobook. With a deep understanding that many people are on an independent spiritual path and in search of guidance for their journey, Talking with Angels is a beacon of hope and humanity that resonates with audiences of all ages and diverse backgrounds.

REVIEW OF SHELLEY MITCHELL'S STAGE PERFORMANCE OF TWA
"This is a long way from The Diary of Anne Frank... The core of the memoir is the story of Mallasz's camaraderie with three Jewish friends (Mallasz was not Jewish) — one of whom received visitations from a series of "angels" offering psychic and spiritual counsel to the quartet as the Holocaust cut its swath across Europe. In the performance, Mitchell portrays the elderly Mallasz... a portrayal with such leisurely, lifelike timing,...Mitchell transforms into something between a dancer and a shaman. ..Its excruciating beauty derives from its simplicity, its purity and the veracity of its harrowing stories..."  -LA WEEKLY
