Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Juliet Stevenson’s narration is both compelling and soothing…There is a certain fluid quality to the text that mirrors water, and Stevenson’s calm demeanor couples nicely with it. Yet she hardly puts the listener to sleep. Her vocal characterizations realistically capture each character, and she creates a strong contrast between the soft, musical female voices and the gruff, dominant male voices. Stevenson masterfully navigates Woolf’s prose as she and the listener embark on this literary journey.” —AudioFile
“As poignant as anything in modern fiction.” —E. M. Forster, New York Times bestselling author and Nobel Prize nominee
“For all its tragic interest, The Voyage Out is not low-keyed; it even has slight buoyancy of tone, as if clear perception itself brought a continual zest to its writer. Woolf has the diversity of power which makes the great writer of narrative.” —New Republic
