Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Cassandra Campbell’s performance shines in The Girls of Atomic City, bringing depth to each character and evoking the emotional weight of their experiences. Her ability to modulate between soft, reflective tones and more urgent, decisive deliveries is masterful, making the narrative feel both personal and historically significant. Kiernan’s writing is captivating, painting a complex picture of life in Oak Ridge during WWII. However, some sections detailing technical aspects of the Manhattan Project might bog down the pacing for those less interested in nuclear physics. Overall, this audiobook is an essential listen for history buffs and anyone fascinated by the stories behind America's most secretive projects.
