IN THE TIME OF OUR HISTORY

Mozhan Marnò brings a sensitive, evocative tone to this intergenerational story of the women in an Iranian American family. Mitra, the family rebel, is given a strong demeanor that will have listeners rooting for her as she grapples with tradition and grief at the loss of her sister. Her mother, Shireen, is torn by competing loyalties to her children and her husband. Marnò does justice to them both. She also varies her pace and accent as she captures a wide range of supporting characters. From San Francisco to New Jersey, from the present to the past, this is a complex story expertly told.
