Golden Voice Julia Whelan’s quiet, graceful narration is the perfect match for Nina LaCour’s flowing prose in her stunning, layered novel about two queer women who are slowly finding their way to each other—and themselves. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Emily Connelly discuss Whelan’s skilled narration of this beautiful book.
