Galatea

Ruth Wilson’s performance is a standout here. Her voice has an ethereal quality that perfectly complements Madeline Miller’s prose. The story unfolds with a slow-burning intensity, allowing each detail to sink in before the climactic twist. While it might feel slight at first, the depth of emotion and philosophical undercurrents make 'Galatea' a captivating listen. The afterword by Miller adds an extra layer of insight but could be a bit more engaging on its own. Overall, this audiobook is a must-listen for fans of thoughtful mythological retellings and Ruth Wilson’s distinctive vocal performance.
