Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Tavia Gilbert delivers a mesmerizing recitation that breathes new life into Maud Allonson's story. Her voice effortlessly captures the complexity of Lady Romeo's persona, from the stage to the social sphere. The pacing is impeccable, allowing for moments of raw emotion alongside quieter, more introspective scenes. However, some sections feel slightly rushed, perhaps due to the condensed nature of an audiobook. Despite this minor quibble, 'Lady Romeo' remains a captivating listen that illuminates a lesser-known chapter in queer history with grace and grit.
