Editor's Review

AudioBook Atlas

Emily Woo Zeller's narration in 'American Woman' is nothing short of brilliant, adding layers to each character and emotionally anchoring the listener to Jenny Shimada's journey. Her voice carries the weight of tension and vulnerability that Susan Choi’s writing masterfully imparts. However, certain sections feel slightly disjointed, which can be jarring when trying to follow the rapid changes in perspective. Despite this, the overall pacing is deliberate, allowing moments of introspection to resonate deeply. A standout feature is how Zeller seamlessly shifts between characters, making it easy to stay engaged throughout the 15-hour journey.
