Yetide Badaki narrates this audio novella about Najeeba, who was introduced in the author's previous novel, WHO FEARS DEATH. Years before that story takes place, Najeeba is a 13-year-old girl who receives the call to the Salt Roads, an experience usually reserved for men. With her smooth voice and precise pacing, Badaki allows the details to linger in listeners' minds as the setting unfolds. Najeeba joins her father and brothers on their expedition, awakens to an innate power she possesses, and works the markets, where her talent for attracting a crowd earns her family a huge sum. Using a mature voice, Badaki embodies a girl whose journey transforms her, and the world around her, irrevocably. A.K.R. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: OCTOBER 2024]
