LAND OF MILK AND HONEY by C Pam Zhang, read by Eunice Wong
Eunice Wong performs this immersive tale of an Asian American chef during an apocalyptic event in Earth’s near future. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Kendra Winchester discuss how Wong captures the chef’s strong narrative voice. The unnamed narrator is unable to return to America after smog covers the globe, blocking sunlight and killing most of Earth’s plants and animals. To escape impending disaster, the chef takes a job cooking for a billionaire living in an isolated compound on the top of a mountain above the smog. As the chef falls in love, creates new dishes, and ponders what her future has in store, Wong beautifully captures the chef’s narrative voice. One of the must-listen audiobooks of 2023.
