Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Stephen Fry’s narration is nothing short of stellar in 'Montmorency,' bringing the Victorian era to life with his rich, evocative voice. His performance adds depth to each character, especially Montmorency himself, whose journey from thief to healer is both compelling and complex. The pacing is well-balanced, never dragging despite its 5-hour runtime. However, some scenes feel overly detailed for a narrative that could have benefited from more plot-driven tension. Despite this minor critique, 'Montmorency' remains an engaging and thought-provoking listen that will resonate with listeners seeking a nuanced historical tale.
