CITY ON THE EDGE

In 1972, 13-year-old Graham moves with his family to Beirut, Lebanon, where he navigates the challenges of a tense home environment and a different world outside, packed with formidable characters and hidden danger. Narrator Jonathan Davis does a sterling job bringing the lead characters to life, particularly as Graham finds that typical youthful scrapes have much bigger consequences in this new and sometimes dangerous land. Davis seamlessly moves between different accents, making the large blocks of dialogue easy to comprehend. His strong narration helps to create a believable setting for this combination coming-of-age story and adventure tale. K.J.P. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2021]
