How to Break Your Own Heart

How to Break Your Own Heart is the complete and unabridged library edition audiobook on CD of Maggie Alderson's humorous novel about a very serious life choice. Amelia Bradlow has a loving husband, and wants a baby more than anything - but her husband is not interested in parenthood. Amelia is quickly approaching 37 and her biological clock is going to run out very soon - should she stay in her (mostly) happy marriage, or enter the uncertainty of single life on the distant chance of meeting the right man with whom to start a family? Though tongue-in-cheek witty, How to Break Your Own Heart is also thought-provoking, and overall a thoroughly enjoyable audiobook experience. Highly recommended. 11 CDs, 12 hours 25 minutes.

I've been reading Maggie Alderson's books since they were based in Sydney, and i've kept with her even thought they're now based in dreary london! How To Break Your Own Heart is a wonderfully touching and funny book. Once again she has created wonderful characters that remind everyone of people they love. She's even done a Peter Mayle describing France and it's wines. Perfect to read at the beach or steal yourself away for a weekend, which is exactly what i did!
