About this listen

Life can be hard: your lover cheats on you; you lose a family member; you can’t pay the bills. And it can be great: you’ve had the hottest sex of your life; you get that plum job; you muster the courage to write your novel. Sugar - the once-anonymous online columnist at The Rumpus, now revealed as Cheryl Strayed, author of the best-selling memoir Wild - is the person thousands turn to for advice. Tiny Beautiful Things gathers the best of "Dear Sugar" in one place and includes never-before-published columns and a new introduction by Steve Almond. Rich with humor, insight, compassion - and absolute honesty - this book is a balm for everything life throws our way.

Critic reviews

"A realistic and poignant compilation of the intricacies of relationships." ( Kirkus Reviews)

"These pieces are nothing short of dynamite, the kind of remarkable, revelatory storytelling that makes young people want to become writers in the first place. Over here at the Salon offices, we're reading the columns with boxes of tissue and raised fists of solidarity, shaking our heads with awe and amusement." (Sarah Hepola, Salon)

"Charming, idiosyncratic, luminous, profane.... [Sugar] is remaking a genre that has existed, in more or less the same form, since well before Nathanael West’s Miss Lonelyhearts first put a face on the figure in 1933.... Her version of tough love ranges from hip-older-sister-loving to governess-stern. Sugar shines out amid the sea of fakeness." ( The New Republic)

What a book!! I cried during some parts, gasped, laughed and was absolutely memorised. This book cracked my heart wide open. It is so humbling, it will make you angry and loving, compassionate all within a short space of time. A true reflection that we are not alone in our sorrows and experiences. That we are responsible for what we do and who we create ourselves in the world- we all need to do the work individually, get out our own way and do what is deeply right for us not what is easy. I loved loved loved this book. And the narration was excellent. It was as though I was listening to a wise aunty all the way through. Worth reading!!
