About this listen

A memoir about what happens when your life goes drastically off the rails.

When journalist and podcaster Liadán Hynes' marriage ended, it felt like a loss: of her best friend and of the happy ending she had envisaged on their wedding day. In the months that followed, she had to adjust to a different future - as a single mum juggling work and managing a home - without someone to share the ups and downs of the everyday.

Here, in this honest, poignant and beautifully written memoir, she gives an account of her experience.

From navigating Friday-night dinner parties and Saturday nights alone on the couch, to counselling and having more gurus than is sensible, How to Fall Apart is a story of one woman who discovered the value of different kinds of love and, in doing so, found herself: single, stronger and surrounded by love.

Hard work to stay interested in. I wouldn't recommend this audible book, very painful to stay interested in after chapter 3.
