Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

The narration is a highlight—Tom Hollander’s portrayal of Edward Rappacini in 'Rappacinni's Daughter' is particularly chilling. Jessica Raine brings a captivating vulnerability to the tragic figure of Lily Bart, evoking Wharton's masterful exploration of societal expectations and female independence. The pacing is deliberate yet engaging, allowing each character's complex story to unfold without rush. Despite its excellence, some might find the 16-hour runtime daunting. Nonetheless, this audiobook offers an unparalleled window into Wharton’s genius through the refined lens of BBC radio.
