Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Suzanne Toren’s nuanced performance is the star here, capturing Yiyun Li’s delicate prose with an air of serene understanding. The narration complements the introspective nature of the book perfectly, making it easier to connect with Li’s poignant reflections on motherhood and writing. However, there are moments where the pacing feels slightly slow, which can make some parts a bit challenging to digest. Still, these minor drawbacks are overshadowed by Toren's ability to infuse the narrative with emotional depth. 'Things in Nature Merely Grow' is not just an audiobook; it’s a personal journey that listeners will find deeply rewarding if they seek a thought-provoking exploration of creativity and family.
