Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Saskia Maarleveld's narration makes 'The Victory Garden' an absolute delight to listen to. Her portrayal of Emily’s growth from a naive young woman into a strong, independent individual is genuinely captivating. The chemistry between Emily and her Australian pilot feels genuine, thanks to Maarleveld's nuanced delivery. However, the pacing at times can feel a bit rushed, leaving some important character moments feeling slightly underdeveloped. Nonetheless, the production quality is top-notch, with excellent sound design that enhances the immersive experience of wartime Britain.
