The Other Mother by Rachel M. Harper
3.0
Thank you NetGalley and RB Media for the advanced listening copy of The Other Mother.
The Other Mother is the story of a freshman college student searching for information on his late father who he never knew. He arrives in Brown University to find his grandfather is still a professor there. The rest of the story is told in perspectives of different people involved in his origin story. Overall this ended up being an okay read for me. I had trouble connecting with the characters motivations. Also half the people just happened to be prodigies in what they did. History professor, amazing ballet dancer and musical prodigies all in a single family. Also the book did a lot of telling instead of showing when it came to the racial issues it was discussing. I really did enjoy the style of telling the story from different perspectives.
The audiobook is narrated by January LaVoy and William DeMeritt and I enjoyed their narration.
