Editor's Review ★★★☆★

AudioBook Atlas

Rainy Fields delivers an emotionally resonant performance that balances gravitas with clarity, ensuring Deer's arguments land effectively. The narration style is smooth yet impactful, aiding in the understanding of often dense historical content. Pacing is well-maintained throughout, allowing for moments of reflection without slowing down momentum. However, at times the detailed legal and sociopolitical discussions might overwhelm listeners unfamiliar with the subject. Despite this, 'The Beginning and End of Rape' remains a powerful and necessary exploration that challenges conventional narratives around violence against Native women.
