Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Sarah Barron's narration is a standout feature of 'The Name of Love'. Her ability to capture the Scottish dialect and infuse it with emotion is nothing short of remarkable. The pacing of the story is steady, allowing the listener to fully immerse themselves in Mary's journey. Swift's exploration of Mary's inner turmoil is beautifully done, though at times, the narrative delves a bit too deeply into her thoughts, slowing the story's momentum. Despite this, the audiobook is a captivating listen, leaving you eager to follow Mary's path to self-discovery. It's a perfect choice for those who enjoy historical fiction with a strong romantic core and a protagonist who evolves significantly over the course of the story.
