Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Juanita McMahon’s hauntingly beautiful voice is the perfect conduit for Sarah Waters’ intricate narrative. Her delivery of the protagonist's transformation from Lavender Melrose to Edward Sedgwick is both passionate and subtle. The pacing is impeccable, allowing each scene to unfold in meticulous detail before leaping forward with urgency. However, some historical references feel a bit heavy-handed, pulling the listener out of their immersive experience for brief moments. Despite this minor critique, 'Tipping the Velvet' remains a compelling listen that will draw you into its enchanting world.
