About this listen

Hum follows a young woman whose life is changed forever when, after being raped, she gives birth to a hummingbird. She must learn to cope with not only what happened to her, but with the bird’s persistent, agitating presence in her life.

Natalia Hero’s debut is a beautiful and tormented magical-realist novella about surviving trauma, reclaiming oneself, and what it means to heal.

This must be the might wonderful use of allegory I’ve come across. I really wanted to get hold of the hard copy but it was probably best to hear this read by the author. A hard listen but mesmerising.

Haunting, beautiful and allegorical tale
