THE MOON REPRESENTS MY HEART

This audiobook is about the perils of a family that has the unique ability to time travel. Rebecca Yeo's cautious pace and refined British accent underpin the anxiety felt by Tommy and Eva when their parents vanish into the past one day, never to return. The chapters are broken into bite-size chunks--the longest being just over 23 minutes--a structure that makes the abruptly shifting timelines between the past and present among various family members easier for the listener to follow. Yeo handles tricky Chinese names with deftness, and she imbues the narrative with a tone of reverence when places lost to time--such as the Kowloon Walled City of Hong Kong--are revisited in all their crumbling glory.
