Laurence Olivier award winning and Oscar and BAFTA nominated, Irish actress and singer, Jessie Buckley has been cast as narrator of Audible’s latest audiobook.
Leah Hazard, the Sunday Times best-selling author, is set to launch her debut novel as an Audible Original audiobook next month.
Known for her work as one of the UK’s most high-profile midwives, The Anatomy of Us is inspired by Leah’s firsthand experience working on the NHS front line and written exclusively for Audible.
In The Anatomy of Us Leah delves into what happens when two perfectly imperfect people fall in love – but are too afraid to show each other who they really are.
Becca Armitage is a young doctor barely holding it together in an Edinburgh hospital, where relentless shifts and an NHS in crisis have left her questioning everything.
A brutal New Year’s Eve in the emergency room pushes her to the edge, and when she meets Dr Andrew Maitland – charming, wealthy, and, in her view, the Most Beautiful Man in the World.
As they begin an unexpected romance, Becca finds herself lying to maintain the image of the put-together doctor Andrew thinks she is. But Andrew has secrets of his own. As their relationship deepens, past wounds and current truths threaten to derail their budding connection.
Is it really okay not to be okay when your life – and your love – depend on holding it all together?
Leah Hazard said: “The Anatomy of Us was a labour of love, written between my shifts as an NHS midwife.
“I’m so excited for Audible to bring listeners this tale of two gorgeously dysfunctional healthcare heroes, struggling to love each other – and themselves – in a system full of the highest highs and the lowest lows.”
Narrator Jessie Buckley added: “The Anatomy of Us is a scintillating fiction debut and I’m very proud to have collaborated with Leah and the Audible team to bring it to life for listeners around the world.”
The Anatomy of Us will be available exclusively on Audible from 8 May. Membership may be required.
