CHILDREN OF THE RIVER

CHILDREN OF THE RIVER has won several national and international awards in its printed form, and Christina Moore delivers a noteworthy performance in its audiobook debut. Her vocalizations are stunning, particularly in her portrayal of the lead character, Sundara, an adolescent Cambodian refugee. She is especially effective in the segments that provide Sundara's impressions of Americans and their customs. With no enhancements, Moore's voice spans a wide range of characters, ages, cultures and emotions to deliver a powerful and moving presentation. It is a tale not soon forgotten.
