About this listen
Becky: a single mum who prides herself on her independence. She knows from painful experience that men are trouble.
Louise: a loving husband, gorgeous kids. She ought to feel more grateful.
Jameela: all she's ever done is work hard, and try her best. Why won't life give her the one thing she really wants?
Sheila: the nest is empty, there's a lonely little feeling in her tummy and her husband seems so distracted.
The inhabitants of the Inventor's Housing Estate keep themselves to themselves. There are the friendly 'Hellos' when commutes coincide and the odd cheeky eye roll when the wine bottles clank in number 7's wheelie bin, but it's not exactly Ramsay Street.
The dilapidated community centre is no longer the beating heart of the estate that Becky remembers from her childhood. So the new pottery class she's helped set up feels like a fresh start. And not just for her.
The assorted neighbours come together to try out a new skill, under the watchful eye of their charismatic teacher, Sasha. And as the soft unremarkable lumps of clay are hesitantly, lovingly moulded into delicate vases and majestic pots, so too are the lives of four women. Concealed passions and heartaches are uncovered, relationships shattered and formed, and the possibility for transformation is revealed.

Listeners also enjoyed...
I found Thrown to be captivating, moving and so easy to listen to. Sara Cox does a great job of narrating and bringing real life to her characters (i loved the telephone conversations with the little phone effect) and enjoyed every single delicious minute of listening.
The story resembles many real lives all over the UK I’m sure and I found myself relating to many of the characters emotions throughout the story. Not only did I laugh out loud in the Co-op while shopping and listening, I broke down while getting ready for work during one chapter because it was so heartbreakingly tender and sad.
Well done Sara! Thank you, a fantastic book, I can’t wait for the next.
Love, love, loved it!
