About this audiobook
The international sensation that illuminates the experiences women are supposed to hide — from addiction, anger, sexual assault, and infertility to joy, sensuality, and love.
In this dazzling debut, Emilie Pine speaks to the events that have marked her life — those emotional disruptions for which our society has no adequate language, at once bittersweet, clandestine, and ordinary. She writes with radical honesty on the unspeakable grief of infertility, on caring for an alcoholic parent, on taboos around female bodies and female pain, on sexual violence and violence against the self. This is the story of one woman and of all women.
Devastating, poignant, and wise — and joyful against the odds — Notes to Self is an unforgettable exploration of what it feels like to be alive and a daring act of rebellion against a society that is more comfortable with women’s silence.
