Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Kate Reading’s performance in 'Eleanor Roosevelt' is nothing short of exceptional. Her deep, resonant voice effortlessly conveys the range of emotions Eleanor experienced—from strength and determination to vulnerability and loss. The pacing is impeccable, seamlessly transitioning between historical events and personal insights. Cook's narrative is both engaging and enlightening, providing a vivid picture of 20th-century America. However, at nearly three hours in length, some listeners might find it dense and fast-paced, which could be overwhelming for those new to historical biographies. Overall, this audiobook is an indispensable resource for anyone interested in American history or the life of one of its most influential figures.
