Description
This week, we're sharing a new audiobook from Pushkin, the company behind The Last Archive. It’s called Heartbreak and it’s written and read by Florence Williams. Florence is a science journalist, but when her husband of 25 years broke up with her, she became her own subject. Florence set out to understand what was happening to her, emotionally and physically, after the divorce. The result is a courageous and intimate audiobook filled with interviews, conversations with friends and audio diaries from some of her most vulnerable moments. Divorce is painful, many of our Double Date guests have been through it and discussed in depth on the show. But this audiobook is a beautifully detailed chronicle of a path through.
