Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Meryl Streep’s performance in 'Chrysanthemum' is nothing short of magical. Her soft, lilting voice imbues the story with an almost fairy tale-like quality that captures both the innocence and complexity of the protagonist's journey. The pacing is just right, allowing for moments of contemplation without feeling drawn out. While Streep’s talents are well showcased, there might be a slight room for more dramatic flair in some scenes. Nonetheless, her nuanced performance makes this audiobook a delight to listen to, especially when paired with Kevin Henkes' clever and poignant narrative.
