- Golden Voice narrator Julia Whelan joins AudioFile’s Michele Cobb to tell listeners about narrating Kristin Hannah’s memorable historical fiction audiobook, THE WOMEN, one of our picks for Best Fiction of 2024. It’s an emotional story about Vietnam War combat nurses, and Julia details how she prepared for performing this intense listen. Julia has narrated several of Hannah’s audiobooks, and she explains what she likes about getting to narrate multiple works by the same author, and what’s stayed with her about this audiobook.

I loved The Women and almost wish I had listened to it for my first read! May have to revisit to hear Julia’s adaptation.

@@AudioFileMagazine oh cool! Thank you very much for that!
@@AudioFileMagazine it’s more than just their voice, but also their acting it looks like. Really neat! Like the Oscars for audiobooks (and also looks at variety of roles which is unique). Again, appreciate you sending that my way!
