THE READING LIST

Narrators Tara Divina, Sagar Arya, and Paul Panting bring us this intergenerational novel about a grandfather and granddaughter who are struggling through grief and falling in love with reading. Listeners are treated to a seamless listening experience as the narrators deliver warm, rich descriptions of Mukesh and Aleisha's separate grief-stricken paths. Divina portrays the young, bored, teenager Aleisha, who is looking for something to do when she comes across a list of recommended books during her work at the local library. Panting portrays the older Mukesh, who is looking for a way to connect and is willing to read whatever his granddaughter recommends. Bookworms will love this title, which celebrates reading--and the power of books to bring us together. M.R. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: OCTOBER 2021]
