Editor's Review ★★★☆★

AudioBook Atlas

The narration here is a true highlight—each reader brings unique depth to their character, seamlessly integrating into the stories' rich narratives. The title story, set in an Italian lemon grove, unfolds like a slow-burning tale of aging vampires and unfulfilled desires, perfectly encapsulating Russell's storytelling prowess. However, the pacing can be uneven at times, occasionally dragging when transitioning between stories. Still, this audiobook remains a captivating journey through lush settings and unforgettable characters, making it a must-listen for fans of magical realism and Southern Gothic fiction.
