Editor's Review

AudioBook Atlas Editorial Team

As someone who has immersed themselves in the world of historical fiction, I was utterly captivated by Geraldine Brooks' Horse. The audiobook version, narrated by a talented ensemble, brought the story to life in a way that I could never have imagined. James Fouhey, Lisa Flanagan, Graham Halstead, Katherine Littrell, and Michael Obiora each delivered exceptional performances that captivated my attention and made me feel as though I were right there with the characters. The pacing was spot-on, never dragging or rushing, allowing me to fully appreciate the intricate layers of the story. While I found the exploration of race and art to be thought-provoking, I must admit that the historical elements of the story occasionally felt a bit overshadowed by the contemporary narrative. Regardless, Horse is a must-listen for fans of the genre and anyone seeking a unique and captivating listening experience.
