About this audiobook
A gorgeous, poignant, and unflinchingly humorous memoir for listeners of Cheryl Strayed and Michelle Zauner about a woman overcoming dramatic loss and finding reinvention
In this exquisite story, Poorna Bell asks who exactly is responsible for her happiness?
She was sold the fairytale of life. That love wins the day. That marriage and children are the natural progression of any relationship. But in 2015 everything changes after her husband Rob takes his own life on a winter’s night, having battled depression and addiction.
With humour and heart, and against the changing landscapes of India, New Zealand and Britain, Poorna tells of how in the midst of rebuilding she starts to redefine what she wants her life to be and what exactly makes a successful, fulfilling life.
Refreshingly honest and heartfelt, Bell’s voice shines in this audiobook. Rich with intimacies that will resonate widely, In Search of Silence is a book to cherish. This is a deeply heartfelt journey.
Also included is a interview between The Masala Podcast's Sangeeta Pillai and Poorna Bell where they delve deeper into some of the themes discussed in In Search of Silence.
