LINH LY IS DOING JUST FINE

Eunice Wong's narration of this debut novel captures the essence of its story with a perfect deadpan tone. Linh Ly is confronted with a multitude of challenges that disrupt her routine.

She's also experiencing palpable anxiety as she grapples with her past, family dynamics, and her own relationships. As Linh navigates societal norms and complex emotions, she often finds herself in unique and challenging situations. At a deliberate pace, Wong skillfully conveys Linh's analytical observations, adding depth and nuance to the story. S.K.G. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: OCTOBER 2024]
