Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Barbara Kingsolver's narration in Small Wonder is nothing short of brilliant, allowing her prose to resonate with warmth and sincerity. Her ability to convey the subtle nuances of her writing makes each essay feel like a conversation rather than a lecture. The pacing is deliberate yet fluid, ensuring that even the more challenging topics remain accessible. However, some listeners might find the tone a bit too earnest at times, which can occasionally overshadow the wit inherent in Kingsolver's work. Overall, this audiobook offers an intimate and enriching journey through the mind of one of America’s most cherished authors.
