Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Rosemary Benson’s narration elevates Gail Godwin's memoir with her rich, emotive voice. Her delivery is both tender and commanding, capturing every nuance of Godwin's eloquent writing. The narrative unfolds like a delicate tapestry, interweaving stories of love, loss, and resilience. However, the pacing sometimes lingers too long on certain anecdotes, which could be streamlined for a tighter flow. Despite this minor critique, Getting to Know Death remains an unforgettable journey that challenges listeners to confront their own mortality with grace.
