Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Eilidh Beaton’s narration is both authoritative and tender, perfectly balancing the somber tones with moments of sardonic laughter. The storytelling is exceptionally well-paced, drawing listeners into Janet’s world without letup. Her portrayal of the protagonist’s inner turmoil is especially poignant. While the audiobook’s production quality is top-notch, some may find the pacing a bit uneven at times, particularly in the middle sections where the narrative feels slightly fragmented. Nonetheless, O Caledonia stands as a gripping and uniquely entertaining listen, ideal for fans of Gothic literature with a modern twist.
