Story is great. I love E.J Copperman's writing. The narrator was not great. Most of the story was read in the form of a question? That's not great?

I'm going to finish this book because it's a good story on overseas Filipino workers which resonates with my family's immigrant experiences. I just really wish the audio producers put more thought in choosing the narrator for the book. This story would have been told more authentically if you had someone of Filipino heritage telling the story. The pronunciations of the tagalog words are off and there's quite a few. And it's not the narrator, she's wonderful and I'm sure she would be great narrating other stories that didn't require so many accents.

WARNING: Don't read this HUNGRY. The way Manansala describes Filipino dishes are mouth watering. It's about time we had some diversity in this genre! The narrator needed improvement in pronouncing certain things but other than that great listen. Can't wait for a sequel!
