Narrator Kathleen Kim brings out the complexity and drama of Jimin Han's novel THE APOLOGY, a saga that crosses cultures through generations and extends into the afterlife. Kathleen shares how she got into character as 105-year-old Jeonga Cha.
"I absolutely loved reading as 105-year-old Jeonga Cha because she is an incredibly strongly written character. She's super smart, suffers no fools, keeps her cards close to her chest, but can't help but but be somewhat, maybe more than somewhat, judgmental."—Narrator Kathleen Kim
