Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

As someone who has moved a few times in my life, I couldn't help but relate to Jane Christmas' experiences in Open House. Dawn Harvey's narration perfectly captures the humor and vulnerability in Christmas' voice, making it feel like she's telling you her stories over a cup of tea. The pacing of the audiobook is spot-on, with just the right amount of detail to keep you engaged without overwhelming you with minutiae. One thing that impressed me was the way Harvey conveyed the emotions tied to each move, from the excitement of a fresh start to the melancholy of leaving familiar spaces behind. However, at times, I felt the descriptions of the renovation processes dragged on a bit too long, and I wished for more insights into the relationships and personal growth that accompanied each move. Overall, Open House is a delightful listen for anyone interested in architecture, memoirs, or simply a good story about finding home.
