About this listen

 'Has the power to knock the breath out of you'
THE TIMES

'A must-read'
JESSIE BURTON

'One of the most brilliant writers of her generation, as witty, wry and unsentimental as Nora Ephron'
OLIVIA LAING

'I LOVED this book'
NINA STIBBE

In this short, striking memoir, Jean Hannah Edelstein charts the course of her unexpectedly brief relationship with breasts.
As she comes of age, she learns that breasts are a source of both shame and power. In early motherhood, she sees her breasts transform into a source of sustenance and a locus of pain. And then, all too soon, she is faced with a diagnosis and forced to confront what it means to lose and rebuild an essential part of yourself.

Funny and moving, elegant and furious and full of heart, Breasts is an original and indispensable read. It is both an intimate account of one woman's relationship with her own body and a universally relatable story for anyone who has ever had - or lost - breasts.

Love it

I love when the author narrates her memoir, and Jean does an exceptional job bringing her wry and insightful prose to life.

Moving and funny, BREASTS captures all the absurd and abrasive (and at times abusive) statements women endure at various stages. This is a powerful and poignant look at the push and pull of living in a woman's. body, which is never safe from scrutiny and judgement.

I look forward to reading this author’s other work!

Wry, moving, and insightful
