Editor's Review

AudioBook Atlas

Natalie Simpson and Charlotte Davey's narration elevates 'Fenny,' making it a standout among classic fiction audiobooks. Their ability to shift seamlessly between the innocent tone of Ellen and the mysterious persona of Fenny is nothing short of magical. The dual narrators bring an intimate quality to the story, allowing listeners to feel like they're part of the narrative. However, there are moments where the pacing feels slightly uneven, particularly during the political tension sections which could benefit from a more streamlined delivery. Despite this minor critique, 'Fenny' remains a captivating journey through love and self-discovery set against the backdrop of 1930s Italy.
