Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

David McFetridge’s nuanced narration elevates ‘Wounds,’ bringing to life Keane’s vivid tales of Irish history and his family’s struggles. His voice conveys the gravity of each moment, from somber reflections on bloodshed to lighter, more humorous interludes that provide emotional balance. The pacing is deliberate yet engaging, ensuring that every detail feels significant. However, some sections feel overly dense with information, potentially overwhelming listeners who might benefit from a bit more contextual explanation. Nonetheless, McFetridge’s performance makes the audiobook a compelling listen, offering a rich blend of history and personal narrative.
