Maiden Voyages by Sian Evans

This was not exactly the audiobook that I expected when I requested it but I found it interesting, intriguing and full of history. The narrator really sold the book and she sounded exactly like what someone would think the voice of a book about the transatlantic ships and voyages would sound like. 

The women of history that the book talks about are truly fascinating and they range from the stories of the women who did what they had to do survive on the sea and the women who were powerful enough in their own way to do what they wanted to do. 

One thing that really surprised me about the book was just how far away this era feels compared to present day, but just how much the events discussed in the book impacted the world in some very big ways. There are a few names that are discussed in the book that really surprised me. 

It is definitely a longer audiobook at just over 10 hours, but it is an excellent 10 hours spent.

This book will be published on August 10th, 2021. 

I recieved this audiobook free from NetGalley and MacMillan Audio and this is my unbiased review. 

Five out of five stars
