About This Audiobook

In 'Citadel' by Kate Mosse, the walls of medieval Carcassonne become a battleground for women on the front lines of World War II. With meticulous research, Mosse masterfully weaves together historical fact and suspenseful fiction, crafting a narrative that's both a tribute to the resilience of French women and a gripping page-turner. The author's vivid prose is matched by Finty Williams' energetic narration, which imbues the story with a sense of urgency and danger that propels listeners forward. Williams' versatility in capturing the diverse personalities of the female protagonists is particularly noteworthy, bringing each character to vivid life without getting bogged down in subtlety.

Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

I went into 'Citadel' expecting a solid historical thriller, but Kate Mosse's writing and Finty Williams' narration far exceeded my expectations. The story is rich and complex, with a cast of characters that I found myself genuinely invested in. Mosse's use of historical detail is meticulous, but not overwhelming, and Williams brings the characters to life with her nuanced performance. If I have any criticism, it's that the pacing can feel a bit uneven at times - some scenes feel a bit rushed, while others drag on a bit too long. However, this is a minor quibble in an otherwise engrossing listen.
