Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Polly Lee's narration is nothing short of spectacular; she brings a range and depth that elevates every moment of A Place to Hang the Moon. Her ability to convey the innocence of young William and the bravery of his older sister Anna makes for an incredibly engaging listen. However, some scenes feel slightly rushed towards the end, possibly due to the tight runtime. Despite this, the audiobook remains a poignant exploration of loss, hope, and finding family. A compelling tale that will tug at your heartstrings.
