“… conveys the vulnerability and connections among strangers with warmth and restraint. Chin's narration strikes a balance between vivid storytelling and emotional subtlety.” - AudioFile Magazine review of The Satisfaction Cafe by Kathy Wang

“… excels with accents and pitch changes that reflect the different ages, genders, and ethnicities of the characters.” - AudioFile Magazine review of Cincinnati Lee, Curse Breaker by Heidi Heilig

“Narrator Katharine Chin’s outstanding performance will have listeners weeping as they hear Zhang’s debut novel…” – Library Journal (Starred Review)
