About This Audiobook

The Unloved is a haunting tale of luxury and sorrow, set in a remote French chateau during a Christmas holiday gone awry. Deborah Levy's prose weaves a complex narrative that delves into the lives of hedonistic tourists and their sudden descent into despair. Narrated by Sally Scott with a measured yet emotionally resonant voice, this audiobook brings to life a chilling atmosphere where each character's secrets are as dark as the chateau itself. The story is intricate, filled with moments of vivid description that make every scene feel both claustrophobic and expansive.

Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Sally Scott’s narration is nothing short of remarkable in 'The Unloved.' Her voice captures the eerie tension that permeates Levy's writing, making each whispered dialogue and chilling revelation resonate deeply. The story itself is a masterclass in literary fiction—dense with symbolism and layered with meaning. However, at times, the pacing can feel uneven, bogged down by overly descriptive passages that might slow down the momentum of the narrative. Despite this, the audiobook remains a compelling listen for anyone drawn to bleak, character-driven stories. The haunting presence of Tatiana, the child who claims she knows something terrible, is particularly affecting and left me with a lasting impression.
