Editor's Review ★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

I approached 'Romola' with some trepidation, given its length and historical setting. But Eliot's prose is so engaging, and May's narration so captivating, that I was quickly drawn in. May's ability to convey emotion is particularly noteworthy; she makes even the most philosophical dialogues compelling. The pacing is steady, allowing the story's intricate web to unfold naturally. However, some of the political intrigue can feel dense, occasionally slowing the narrative. Despite this, 'Romola' is a remarkable audiobook, perfect for those seeking a immersive, intellectually stimulating listen.
