The Little Stranger

Simon Vance’s narration is nothing short of impeccable in The Little Stranger. His tone oscillates between matter-of-fact and almost mournful, perfectly complementing Sarah Waters’ intricate storytelling. The audiobook captivates from the start with its vivid descriptions that make you feel as if you’re walking through the halls of the Greenhous estate yourself. However, some listeners might find the pacing a bit slow; several plot points could have been more directly addressed to maintain tension throughout. Nonetheless, this audiobook is a haunting and compelling listen, offering both emotional depth and historical context in equal measure.
