HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT

The instability of East Africa sets this story in motion, with the death of a father and an aunt who must become mother to her niece and nephew. Robin Miles's narration is careful as well as purposeful in pronunciation, pitch, and pace. Her steadiness allows the listener to mull over and track the many characters. She uses a variety of accents when delivering dialogue. This choice helps distinguish the characters' wide range of nationalities as they interact with each other in various scenes. Miles is an experienced narrator, and her dexterity shows as she moves from one point of view to another, both male and female, keeping the listener oriented through consistent characterization.
