    John Grisham jumps back into the sports world with Golden Voice narrator Dion Graham performing Sooley, a novel about Samuel “Sooley” Suleman, a basketball prodigy from South Sudan. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Robin Whitten discuss Graham’s excellent narration that helps shape the story, alternating between the player’s life in the US and his time in South Sudan. Graham deftly narrates multiple African accents, creating engaging voices that suit each character. This novel keeps listeners engaged, shot after shot, game after game.
