Saskia Maarleveld delivers an outstanding performance in ‘It Happened in the Highlands.’ Her nuanced voice captivates from the first scene, drawing listeners into the lives of the Penningtons. The romance between protagonist Isla and James is tender yet charged with intensity, making their journey feel both familiar and new. However, some slower pacing can be a drawback at times, especially during certain descriptive passages that might benefit from more dynamic delivery. Despite this minor issue, Maarleveld’s ability to convey the emotional depth of each character ensures that listeners are thoroughly engaged throughout the audiobook.
