Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

As someone who has always been drawn to stories of place, I found 'A Town Called Dehra' utterly enchanting. Kaul's narration is a delight, capturing Bond's affection for Dehradun in every word. He effortlessly switches between Bond's witty observations and the town's rich history, keeping the listener engaged throughout. The only critique I have is that the pacing can feel a bit slow at times, but this is a small price to pay for such a beautifully crafted love letter to a town. Overall, this audiobook is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates a good story, a sense of history, and a touch of nostalgia.
