SONGBIRDS

Narrators George Georgiou, Indira Varma, Art Malik, and Lolita Chakrabarti come together in this one-of-a-kind novel. Together they create a lush and varied listening experience. Varma and Chakrabarti shine as they dramatize the differences between Nisha, a Sri Lankan domestic, and her well-educated, demanding employer, Petra. Fans of world literature will gladly sink into this title set in Cyprus. When Nisha goes missing, and the police refuse to investigate, Petra must take matters into her own hands. Georgiou and Malik round out these stellar performances with their portrayals of Yiannis, Nisha's lover, and Tony, a man who lures women with promises of better jobs. Sensitive listeners should be aware that there are descriptions of harm to animals--birds--throughout this story. M.R. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: OCTOBER 2021]
