Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Lisa Flanagan’s narration is the perfect match for Ava Gardner's story, capturing both her charm and complexity with ease. The pacing keeps listeners engaged from start to finish, making the rich tapestry of Gardner’s life feel fresh and immediate. Specific scenes, like her passionate love affair with Frank Sinatra, are particularly powerful, thanks to Flanagan’s emotive delivery. However, some sections on her early career could have been more streamlined for better flow. Despite this minor critique, 'Ava: A Life in Movies' is a must-listen for anyone interested in Hollywood history and iconic women of the 20th century.
