DO NOT SAY WE HAVE NOTHING

This audiobook marries a haunting, compelling story and a memorable performance by its narrator. Angela Lin reads with assurance, confidence, and a gentleness that captures the mood of the story. Lin has a thin, high voice, and she uses it to set the scene in China. The timeframe alternates between the Cultural Revolution of the 1960s and the present, and Lin guides listeners through the emotions that churned during those tumultuous years. Lin also uses her impeccable Chinese language skills to pronounce the names and keywords that dot the text, lending credibility and atmosphere to this lyrical audiobook. R.I.G.
