Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

As an audiobook enthusiast, I was blown away by the dual narration of 'Next Time Will Be Our Turn'. Emily Woo Zeller and Louisa Zhu's performances are pitch-perfect, bringing depth and nuance to the story. I particularly appreciated the way they conveyed the tender moments between Izzy and her grandmother, which added a touching layer to the narrative. One of the standout aspects of this audiobook is its thoughtful exploration of identity and cultural heritage. Sutanto's writing is infused with a deep respect for the Chinese American experience, and the ways in which family traditions can both unite and isolate us. While I found the pacing to be a tad uneven at times, particularly in the novel's later sections, the narrative's momentum is ultimately redeemed by its satisfying conclusion. Overall, 'Next Time Will Be Our Turn' is a heartwarming and thought-provoking listen that I highly recommend.
