Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Nicci Gerrard’s narration is nothing short of exceptional; her voice conveys the tenderness and sorrow inherent in the stories she shares. The audiobook’s structure is meticulously crafted, seamlessly shifting between her father John's experiences and their shared history. This dual narrative approach creates a powerful emotional resonance that is hard to ignore. However, some sections feel slightly repetitive, perhaps due to the nature of the subject matter, which can be a minor drawback. Overall, ‘The Last Ocean’ is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand dementia from a deeply personal perspective.
