Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

I've never been a widow, but Melissa Gould's 'Widowish' made me feel like I've been through the grieving process with her. Rachel Botchan's narration is exceptional, her voice weaving through Gould's emotional rollercoaster with ease. She captures the raw, visceral pain of loss, but also the moments of levity and hope that sneak up on you when you least expect it. The pacing is steady, never rushing through the tough stuff or lingering too long on the happier moments. My only critique? I could've used a bit more context on Gould's relationship with her late husband. But overall, 'Widowish' is a powerful, moving listen that's not to be missed.
