GARDENS OF WATER

Author Alan Drew offers a vivid, picturesque first novel that is equally wonderful in its narration as in its prose. Narrator Mark Bramhall captures this story of a teenage Kurdish girl who falls in love with an American boy over the objections of his father. Bramhall’s understated performance offers pitch-perfect dialogue complete with an astounding array of accents and voices that are as unique as the story itself. Bramhall’s narration is solid throughout, never breaking away from the remarkable story that unfolds in our minds like a theatrical production. Listening to this audiobook reminds us of just what story narration can offer when done with precision and excellence. A memorable experience. L.B.
