Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Deepti Gupta's narration is a standout feature of this audiobook. Her deep, resonant voice conveys Reshma's journey with such warmth and emotion that you almost feel the weight of her history. The story is told in a way that it feels as if you're sitting by Reshma’s side, hearing about Nilgi from someone who has lived there their entire life. However, the pacing can sometimes lag during more descriptive passages, slowing down what could otherwise be a brisk narrative. Despite this minor critique, 'The 86th Village' remains an incredibly compelling listen, with its rich character development and evocative setting making it a must-listen for fans of historical fiction.
