WANDERING SOULS

Aoife Hinds, Ioanna Kimbook, and Ainsleigh Barber perform this stunning debut historical novel, which follows three orphaned Vietnamese refugees. Siblings Anh, Thanh, and Minh flee Vietnam at the end of the war, hoping to meet their parents in a refugee camp in Hong Kong. But after the rest of their family are found dead, the three children are sent to the UK to start a new life. Aoife Hinds delivers the main portions of the audiobook beautifully, imbuing her performance with all of the characters' intense sorrow and hope for the future. Ioanna Kimbook and Ainsleigh Barber narrate intervals and short chapters, bringing the minor characters to life and helping listeners follow the story's unique structure.
