SHOKO'S SMILE Stories

Narrators Jackie Chung, Janet Song, and Greta Jung work together to present these short stories, which offer glimpses into the lives of contemporary Korean women. From the tragic ferry sinking that listeners might remember from the news a while back to quieter personal conflicts, the narrators create a rich vocal range for the mostly female characters. Chung, Song, and Jung sound sensitive, thoughtful, and kind, while wrestling with big questions of love, and loss. Listeners will be drawn into these intimate portrayals of young women who are dealing with the major events of life. The three provide enough variety to keep each story fresh and interesting. Fans of international literature will find much to admire in this audiobook. M.R. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2021]
