Editor's Review ★★★☆★

AudioBook Atlas

‘Sleeping with the Enemy’ offers a captivating journey through the world of high fashion and tumultuous relationships. Narrator Susan Denaker delivers an intense performance as Coco Chanel, capturing her wit and determination with a commanding voice. Mark Deakins brings a nuanced portrayal of Edouard Alfy, adding depth to their complicated history. The pacing is brisk, ensuring listeners stay engaged throughout the 8 hours and 30 minutes. However, some scenes feel rushed, particularly those detailing business strategies, which could have benefited from more nuance. Despite this minor critique, the audiobook remains a must-listen for anyone fascinated by the intersection of fashion and power in the early 20th century.
