HEART AND SEOUL

Korean adoptee Hara Wilson's journey to find her biological family is compassionately narrated by Greta Jung. Jung's subdued and slightly acerbic voice is a perfect fit for Hara, who has been taught to hide her emotions by her late adoptive father. His death drives Hara's search for her birth family, which takes her all the way to Seoul. As Hara explores Seoul's culture, Jung's nuanced narration expertly conveys the Korean dialogue and adds a welcome layer of authenticity to the story. Jung accesses a wide range of voices for Hara's newfound friends, including a deep regal tone for Yujun--a charming businessman who helps Hara discover the romantic side of Seoul.
