Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Teresa DeBerry's narration in Somerset is nothing short of exceptional. Her ability to bring depth to each character—Jessica Wyndham’s fiery spirit, her family’s complex dynamics, and the social milieu—is nothing short of masterful. The pacing is just right, balancing the slow unfolding of events with moments of intense emotion that keep you engaged throughout. Meacham's vivid descriptions are skillfully conveyed through DeBerry's voice, making every scene feel alive. However, some might find the political subplot a bit dense and slow-moving at times. Overall, this audiobook is a fantastic journey through 1830s South Carolina, perfect for fans of historical fiction who appreciate strong narrative drive.
