When Anthony Shadid—one of four New York Times reporters captured in Libya as the region erupted—was freed, he went home, not to Boston, Beirut, or Oklahoma, where he was raised by his Lebanese American family, but to an ancient estate built by his great-grandfather, a place filled with memories of a lost era when the Middle East was a world of grace, grandeur, and unexpected departures.

Would you consider the audio edition of House of Stone to be better than the print version?
I benefit from audiobooks when much is in another language, or another accent from standard English. This Arabic-rich book is all the better for me. How else would I know how to say all these names, people, places, Arabic words?
Plus, the humor comes across wonderfully with the narration. Neil Shah gets the characters in Shadid's village just right. I hope it was fun to produce and perform.
Have you listened to any of Neil Shah’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
This is my first Neil Shah narration.
