Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

C. M. Hébert’s voice is the perfect conduit for Robert Coles’ profound portrait of Dorothy Day. His delivery is measured yet dynamic, capturing the complex emotions behind her actions and beliefs. The pacing keeps listeners engaged throughout, even during the more introspective sections. However, some parts feel overly academic, which might deter casual listeners. Still, Coles' deep understanding of Day’s life and mission makes this audiobook a must-listen for anyone interested in social justice or 20th-century American history.
