Editor's Review ★★★☆★

AudioBook Atlas

Sylvia Lisle’s narration brings 'City of Lies' to life with a masterful balance of emotion and clarity. Her voice is both soothing and powerful, perfectly complementing Navai’s raw storytelling. Each chapter feels like stepping into a new revelation—tracing the author’s journey from personal struggles to political activism in Tehran. However, some sections drag slightly due to over-detailed descriptions that can feel repetitive. Overall, this audiobook is a must-listen for those seeking an authentic and insightful look at modern Iran.
