THE MASTER JEWELER

This audiobook tells a fascinating multifaceted story about life in Shanghai from the 1920s to the 1940s. Christine Lin narrates this vivid and immersive account of a Chinese orphan girl who, through a series of amazing circumstances, becomes the protégé of a Russian Jewish master jeweler. Anyu Zhang, the protégé, possesses phenomenal talent and achieves acclaim. Lin gives Anyu a sweet, gentle voice that underscores her initial naïveté and malleability. Lin also creates the soft but wholly sinister voice of the evil Kawashima Yoshiko. This audiobook is a glittering account of a time, place, and talent that introduces a set of characters made viable by both the author and narrator.
