LONG FOR THIS WORLD

As Hillary Huber gently delivers this story of a Korean boy filled with wanderlust, her warm voice fills the text with the hopes and dreams of youth. She deftly manages the large range of characters, settings, and time spans, ensuring that this epic story of several generations, taking place across many countries, is easily followed by the listener. As the story moves between the present and the past, Huber maintains a connection between the kaleidoscope of main characters and the unfolding plot. Much of the narrative includes the thoughts of characters and reflections on life in Korea and the Korean immigrant experience. M.R. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2010]
