How Much of These Hills Is Gold

Joel de la Fuente's performance as the older brother, Zazzy, is deeply moving, imbuing his narrative with a sense of quiet determination and resilience that resonates through every moment. Catherine Ho’s portrayal of Liza, the younger sister, is equally compelling, her voice soft yet carrying a strength that propels the story forward. The production quality is top-notch, with clear audio and seamless transitions between narrators. However, some listeners might find the pacing slightly uneven at times, as the narrative shifts between past and present without always providing smooth transitions. Overall, it’s a captivating audiobook that delves into themes of family, loss, and the American dream, making it essential listening for those who enjoy literary fiction with heart.
