Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

As I immersed myself in the world of Going Home, I found myself captivated by the journey of Joseph Forsyth. David deVries' narration was the perfect fit for the story, bringing depth and emotion to the characters and events. The pacing was well-suited to the story's intensity, keeping me engaged from start to finish. One aspect that stood out was the attention to detail in depicting the hardships and triumphs faced by immigrants in the New World. However, I did feel that some of the secondary characters could have been more fully developed to create a more well-rounded narrative. Overall, Going Home is a powerful and moving audiobook that explores themes of resilience and the pursuit of a better life.
