The Story of a Heart
by Rachel Clarke
challenging
informative
reflective
sad
This was such a difficult and emotional read - and especially to listen to - but I found it incredibly moving, as well as deeply informative about the history of organ transplants (which I knew nothing about). Very deserving as the Winner of the Women's Prize for Non-Fiction and would thoroughly recommend, though perhaps proceed with caution and do not listen on your morning commute or lunch break, unless you are prepared to cry on the tube and sit through Zoom meetings teary-eyed.
The courage and witness to life of the families involved is profoundly moving and poignant.
I also thought the narration of the audiobook by the author herself (Rachel Clarke) worked very well, as there is a sense that she accompanies you and guides you through the remarkable stories of the two children and families whom the story centres around.
