Editor's Review

AudioBook Atlas Editorial Team

Tamala Shelton's narration is nothing short of extraordinary. She imbues Pemulwuy with a fierce, unyielding spirit, her voice resonating with every defiant word. The pacing is relentless, mirroring the uncompromising nature of Pemulwuy's war against the British. However, the sheer brutality of the story can be challenging at times, making it a tough listen. But it's this unflinching portrayal of history that makes 'Pemulwuy' so powerful and important. The production is minimalistic, allowing Shelton's narration to take center stage, which is exactly where it should be. If you're looking for a sanitized, feel-good history lesson, look elsewhere. But if you're ready to confront the harsh realities of Australia's past, 'Pemulwuy' is an audiobook you won't soon forget.
