"I couldn't stop listening to this one. Politics aside, this is a well written narrative ... with good voices and accents to differentiate characters."
★★★★★
"All credit, as usual at the Globe, to a talented and diverse ensemble...[with a] more detailed minor role performance from Kate Handford, as a Roman refugee..."
★★★★
