Editor's Review

AudioBook Atlas

I devoured 'Queen of the Court' in a single weekend, drawn in by Moniqua Plante's captivating narration and Madeleine Blais's masterful storytelling. The production is top-notch, with clear, crisp audio that makes the long listen feel seamless. While some of the supporting characters feel a bit one-dimensional, Plante's nuanced performance brings Alice Marble to life in all her complexity. My one quibble is that the narrative sometimes feels a bit slow, particularly in the sections detailing Marble's early life. However, this is a minor complaint in an otherwise engrossing listen that will reward fans of biography and sports history.
