SORRY, BRO

Iranian Armenian narrator Christine Mirzayan gives a dazzling performance in her audiobook debut. In a warm, round voice, she voices Nar, a 20-something Armenian who finally gives in to her mother's requests for her to get more involved in the community. Her mother is hoping she'll meet the perfect man--she even has spreadsheets of potential matches--but Nar meets the perfect woman instead. Mirzayan's obvious comfort with the Armenian language makes this an extra special listen as she seamlessly switches between Armenian and English, smoothly distinguishes first- and second- generation accents, and brings the diverse San Francisco Armenian community to life. Her heartfelt narration adds to the pleasure of this joyful celebration of food, family, and Armenian culture. L.S. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine [Published: FEBRUARY 2023]
