Each of Us a Desert

Frankie Corzo delivers an outstanding narration in ‘Each of Us a Desert.’ Her ability to fluidly switch between English and Spanish adds authenticity and depth to the story, enhancing the bicultural experience. The pacing is deliberate yet engaging, allowing for moments of introspection without slowing down the narrative. One critique might be that some of the slower scenes could benefit from more explicit emotional cues, as Corzo’s performance sometimes leaves a bit too much unsaid. Nonetheless, her nuanced portrayals of characters like Ana and Carlos make each voice distinct and memorable. This audiobook is a must-listen for fans of queer representation in literature, especially those who appreciate a rich, layered storytelling approach.
