Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

As a listener, I adored Maeve Smyth's captivating performance of Stolen from Her Mother. Her ability to convey the vulnerability and resilience of Kate's character resonated deeply with me. Smyth's nuanced portrayal of Tony's charismatic yet vulnerable personality further heightens the emotional stakes of their ill-fated romance. Wesson's writing masterfully balances the raw emotion of war with the heart-wrenching reality of forbidden love. If I have any criticism, it would be that some supporting characters feel somewhat one-dimensional. However, this minor criticism is largely overshadowed by the novel's masterful exploration of themes such as love, duty, and the complexities of womanhood in wartime England. The 8-hour runtime flies by, a testament to the author's engaging storytelling and Smyth's outstanding narration.
