Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Donald Davenport’s rich and expressive voice anchors 'The Water and the Wine,' bringing Tamar Hodes' evocative prose to vibrant life. His performance is particularly memorable in his portrayal of complex characters, especially Marianne Ihlen and Leonard Cohen, where he captures their intensity with a mix of passion and restraint. However, some listeners might find the slow pacing slightly tedious at times, as the narrative delves deeply into interpersonal dynamics. The audiobook's attention to detail—whether it’s the gritty realism or the poetic turns of phrase—makes for an engaging journey through a world of creativity and turmoil.
