À propos de cet audio

Imbued with longing, erudition and hard-earned wisdom, Heartbroken dares to delve into a universal ordeal—perhaps the one that makes us the most human of all.

When Laura Pratt’s long-distance partner of six years tells her “it’s over” at a busy downtown train station, she is sent reeling, the breakup coming out of the blue. He, meanwhile, closes himself off, refusing to acknowledge Laura and her requests for explanation.

In the following days, months, and then years, Laura struggles to make sense of this sudden ending, alone and filled with questions. A journalist, she seeks to understand the freefall that is heartbreak and how so many before her survived it, drawing on forces across time and form, and uncovers literary, philosophical, scientific and psychological accounts of the mysterious alchemy of how we human beings fall in love in the first place, and why, when it ends, some of us take longer to get over it, or never do. She weaves this background of cultural history with her own bracing story of passionate love and its loss, and offers some hope for arriving—changed, broadened, grateful—on the other side.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“Pratt candidly takes us through the throes of heartbreak.... Her language is raw and emotional, her journey entirely relatable. She tempers this emotion with a journalistic approach to dealing with heartbreak, including data, quotes, studies and cultural references about love, loss, grief and moving on. I’m sure many of us can see ourselves in Pratt when we too were at the lowest of our low following a split.” The Toronto Star

“With lyrical prose and startling honesty, Laura Pratt writes about a familiar condition. Who among us has not been heartbroken? But despite the common thread running through this memoir, I’ve never read anything like it. There is such rare beauty in the candid generosity of Pratt’s words as she invites us to indulge our broken hearts, then take the pieces and build something new with the knowledge she has shared. Many will feel seen and comforted by this beautiful work of emotional art.” —Marissa Stapley, New York Times bestselling author of Lucky

“Laura Pratt is a marvelous writer. If you’re reeling from a fresh heartbreak—or still mystified by the impact of ancient one—Heartbroken will help you heal it. This is an astonishingly generous and profoundly intelligent book filled with arresting insights. It lets you in on the author’s own exquisite heartache and reckoning with it, while allowing you to more deeply understand your own relationship with loves lost. I devoured it.” —Haley McGee, author of The Ex-Boyfriend Yard Sale
