Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Sophie Aldred's narration elevates The King's Concubine, lending depth and nuance to every character. Her portrayal of Alice Perrers, in particular, is a tour de force—full of fire and vulnerability. O'Brien’s storytelling is sharp and engaging; the political machinations are thrillingly detailed without being overwhelming. However, some historical accuracy purists might find the fictionalized elements slightly off-putting. Despite this minor quibble, the overall experience is immersive and deeply satisfying. This audiobook is a must-listen for fans of historical fiction and those who enjoy complex narratives.
