Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Anne Dover's narration is nothing short of enchanting; her voice carries you through the cobblestone streets and briny air with effortless grace. Her portrayal of Jeannie is both tender and resilient, capturing the essence of a young woman finding her place in the world amidst the bustling harbour life. The pacing is impeccable, allowing the story to unfold seamlessly without slowing down or rushing. However, there are moments where the narrative slows too much on descriptive passages, potentially detracting from the momentum. Overall, this audiobook is a poignant exploration of love and independence, delivered with heart and authenticity.
