Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Elizabeth Marvel delivers a nuanced performance that perfectly complements Beth Gutcheon’s beautifully crafted narrative. Her ability to differentiate between the various characters—each with their unique timbre and cadence—is nothing short of impressive. The pacing is deliberate yet engaging, allowing each scene to unfold with the same care as the seaside views described in the text. However, at times the story feels a bit too introspective, potentially overwhelming listeners seeking more external conflict. Nonetheless, for those who appreciate literary fiction that delves into the subtleties of human relationships, Leeway Cottage is an immersive and rewarding listen.
