Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Simon Alison brings Sir Thomas More to life with his measured yet passionate delivery, ensuring that the nuances of More's character are not only heard but felt by the listener. The narrative pacing is impeccable, maintaining a steady flow that keeps you engaged throughout. While the first half delves deeply into More’s intellectual contributions and the societal context surrounding him, the latter part can feel somewhat rushed as it tackles his final moments, leading to a slight imbalance in storytelling. Despite this minor critique, Marshall's insights and Alison's performance make for an essential listen for anyone interested in European history or the complex interplay between personal convictions and state power.
