Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

As a listener, I was immediately drawn into Lithgow's world. His narration is nothing short of captivating, filled with warmth, humor, and a touch of drama that only an experienced actor like him can bring. The stories themselves are a mix of the poignant and the playful, with Lithgow's family history serving as a fascinating backdrop. The pacing is perfect, with Lithgow expertly drawing out suspense and laughter in equal measure. However, I did find some of the transitions between stories a bit abrupt, which was my only critique. Overall, 'Stories by Heart' is a wonderful listen that combines the best of theater, memoir, and storytelling.
