Born in South Africa, narrator Peter Noble eloquently delivers an inspired performance of this compelling audiobook from Damon Galgut, which won the 2021 Booker Prize. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Alan Minskoff discuss this novel that unpacks three generations of South African white people as they adjust—or don’t—to changes in their class system and political power. Noble is adept at voicing the characters, capturing the nasal tones and tight sounds, and he masterfully paces this novel. Read the full review of the audiobook on AudioFile’s website. Published by Europa Editions.
