Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Lorna Raver’s narration in Sweeping Up Glass is nothing short of exceptional. Her ability to convey the complexity of Olivia Harker Cross's journey through subtle inflections and a range of voices brings the narrative to life in ways few audiobook narrators can achieve. The story unfolds with deliberate pacing, allowing listeners to fully absorb the weight of each scene. Yet, there are moments where I found myself wishing for slightly more urgency to propel the plot forward, particularly during pivotal scenes involving conflict and decision-making. Despite this minor critique, the overall experience is deeply moving and thought-provoking, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in powerful, literary fiction.
