Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Adjoa Andoh’s performance is nothing short of stellar, capturing Cleopatra’s complex persona with nuance and depth. Her voice effortlessly shifts between the queen’s regal demeanor and her more intimate, personal moments. The story itself is a masterclass in blending historical fact with imaginative fiction, painting a portrait that is both compelling and controversial. However, some listeners might find the narrative's focus on Cleopatra’s psychological journey veers slightly away from the traditional grandeur of ancient Rome. Despite this minor critique, 'Cleopatra' remains an essential audiobook for anyone fascinated by history or drawn to richly detailed narratives.
