Editor's Review ★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Nicola Barber's performance is a standout feature of this audiobook. She masterfully captures Fanny's journey from naive child to confident woman, her voice shifting seamlessly with Fanny's age and experiences. Jong's writing can be quite explicit, and Barber handles these scenes with sensitivity and nuance. The pacing is steady, allowing the story to unfold organically. However, some listeners might find the plot meanders a bit in the middle. Overall, 'Fanny' is a unique and compelling listen, perfect for those who enjoy historical fiction with a dash of eroticism.
