Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Abigail Thaw's narration brings Tessa Hadley's prose to life with remarkable sensitivity. Her voice effortlessly shifts between the warmth of family interactions and the quiet intensity of personal revelations, capturing the essence of each story without overshadowing the text. The pacing is deliberate yet engaging; it allows ample time for character development while maintaining a steady forward momentum that keeps you hooked until the final page (or in this case, final chapter). However, some stories feel slightly disjointed due to abrupt transitions between characters and settings. Nonetheless, 'After the Funeral' remains a compelling listen, offering listeners a rich tapestry of human experiences.
