Nadia Albina is a powerful narrator of this inventive novel, which features a prodigal daughter returning home from a long-term self-exile abroad. Sonia Nasir is a British Palestinian actor who returns to the West Bank discouraged and tired. The powerful narrative tone conveys Sonia's myriad emotions when she is tasked with staging a performance of HAMLET. Albina's heartful presentation captures Sonia's initial dislocation, as well as her gradual warming to her fractured homeland. Listeners hear a confident, consistent voice throughout this layered, timely story with universal themes played against a vast historical backdrop. Fans of international fiction will sink into this listening experience as delivered by an experienced narrator. M.R. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine [Published: OCTOBER 2023]
