How did you prepare to narrate The Only Child:
I always read the book once to understand the tone of the book, and to also note any words that I don't know how to pronounce. Then, I skim through it again to flesh out character voices, and notate where the narration needs to be more dramatic. With books that have been translated, sometimes it can be a lot of work trying to figure out what certain words are and how to pronounce them because translations aren't always accurate. Not because the translators aren't doing a good job, but because there are sounds other languages have that aren't in the english language, if that makes sense. However, the translator, Yewon Jung, did such a phenomenal job translating this book, I had no trouble figuring out what certain words were and it was a very smooth process for me.
