THE DJINN WAITS A HUNDRED YEARS

Soneela Nankani dynamically narrates this unique mystery. Sana and her father move to an old South African estate that has been repurposed as housing for those seeking shelter. Still grieving the passing of her mother, Sana tries to make connections with the other tenants and stumbles into the bedroom of the estate's former resident and her djinn. Nankani charmingly delivers Sana's investigation of the estate. Her performance seamlessly weaves suspenseful moments and hopeful discoveries. Although the djinn is depicted as an invisible entity, Sana's interactions with it are performed with so much care that listeners will feel the genuine connection between the two characters. G.M.
