Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Neil Shah’s narration is nothing short of exceptional, his voice weaving through Taseer's words with an almost conversational ease that draws listeners into the narrative. The journey from New Delhi to Benares and back, spanning two decades, is both poignant and profound. However, at times, the pacing can feel a bit uneven, with some sections feeling more rushed than others. Despite this minor quibble, 'The Twice-Born' remains an essential read for those seeking to understand India's past and present through one man’s compelling life story.
