Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Kristin Atherton’s narration is nothing short of captivating in 'The Secret Diaries of Miss Anne Lister: Vol. 1'. Her ability to convey the complexity of Anne Lister's character, from the meticulous and methodical to the fiery and passionate, is nothing less than remarkable. The pacing is well-tuned; it flows smoothly through Lister’s detailed accounts while maintaining an engaging tone that keeps you invested in her story. However, there are moments where the narration could have been more nuanced—specifically during some of the diary entries that detail intense emotions or intimate scenes. Despite this minor critique, this audiobook remains a must-listen for anyone fascinated by women's history and LGBTQ+ narratives.
