Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Imogen Church's narration brings 'The Circus Train' to life with incredible depth and nuance, particularly in portraying the complex emotions of Leela as she navigates her tumultuous relationship. The pacing is deliberate yet engrossing, allowing listeners time to savor each moment. However, at times, the plot can feel overly reliant on coincidences, which might detract from its realism. Nonetheless, this audiobook remains a captivating listen, offering a rich tapestry of love and loss against the backdrop of wartime India.
