Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Hannah Curtis's narration is a revelation in Shakespeare's Sisters. Her ability to breathe life into the intricate storylines of these historical figures is both captivating and moving. The pacing is impeccable, allowing each character’s narrative to unfold seamlessly. However, while the content is rich and historically detailed, some listeners might find the frequent transitions between characters slightly disorienting. Despite this minor critique, Targoff’s research and Curtis's performance make for a compelling listen that challenges our conventional understanding of the Shakespearean period.
