Editor's Review ★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

As I listened to Run, River, I was immediately captivated by Holly Cate's performance. Her narration is filled with warmth and precision, bringing to life the intricate web of relationships that define the McClellan family. Cate's voice perfectly complements Joan Didion's sharp prose, creating a vivid and immersive experience. The audiobook's pacing is impeccable, drawing listeners into the story with ease. However, I did find the occasional lack of differentiation between characters' voices to be a minor distraction. Nonetheless, Run, River is a captivating listen that offers a glimpse into the heart of the American West through the lens of a master storyteller.
