Brian Nishii delivers a flawless narration of Eto Mori’s classic Japanese bestseller, translated by Jocelyne Allen. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Michele Cobb discuss this story of a soul getting a new chance at life, inside another’s body. A dead soul wins a lottery, and an angel named Prapura guides the soul as it occupies the body of a 14-year-old who recently attempted suicide. The soul must learn from its past mistakes in order to be reincarnated. Nishii nimbly varies his tone between serious and comical and displays a masterful ability to imbue each scene with heartfelt emotions. As an added bonus, listeners can hear from Brian Nishii about his experience narrating the audiobook in his video for AudioFile.
