I have been listening to Funny in Farsi. Its about a girl growing up in Southern California and the tremendous struggle she had culturally. There family lived through the Revolution and the hostage taking. Also included is the struggles of her father who is a respected oil refinery expert. The author is reading her book. She has a bouncy style. It was on sale through Auvible.coom for 4.95.
I have been also listening to the number Romance Book at Barnes and Noble. Natural Born Charmer. Its about a quirk spunky gal that gets picked up along the side of the road by a pro football quarterback. She is wearing a beaver suit without its head. They move on to a romance of the old rock star and his wife long since separated who happens to be the quarterback's mother and father. The reader in this one is gifted in changing voices to the men's charaters and well as the various women characters.
On the analog side, I have been reading
The Dissitant the story of a chinnese teacher brought to Southern California to teach at an all girl's school and to produce art work worthy of a show at the end of his tenure.
I hope you are finding good books to read.

I LOVED funny in farsi..i'm sure it's ever funnier on audible. my favorite part was the relative (uncle?) wh gained weight after coming to the US and bought the infomercial magical weight loss devices..rofl just remembering!
That was one of my favorite stories as well! The other was of her father "fixing" things around the house when he comes to visit. Is the author reading the text?
