Three women tell deeply personal stories in audiobooks that gain even more force through performance. Michele Cobb joins host Jo Reed to discuss ๐ผ ๐๐ฎ๐ข๐ฃ ๐ฉ๐ค ๐๐๐๐ by Gisรจle Pelicot, who discovered that her husband had drugged her and arranged to have dozens of men assault her over the course of many years. The book recounts her life, the trial, and the reckoning that followed, all narrated by Emma Thompson with remarkable restraint and empathy. Next comes a discussion of ๐๐๐ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ค๐ ๐๐ฎ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐จ ๐๐๐ก๐ก๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ by Annabelle Gurwitch, read by the author with warmth, comic timing, and mischievous candor as she navigates stage 4 lung cancer and divorce. Finally, they discuss ๐๐ค๐ช ๐๐๐ฉ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ฎ๐๐จ, written and read by actor Christina Applegate, who reflects on childhood trauma, fame, cancer, and living with multiple sclerosis; her unguarded narrationโcomplete with journal entries, laughter, and tearful momentsโgives the book unusual emotional immediacy. These memoirs donโt offer neat resolutions, but they do reveal the special intimacy that happens when difficult stories are spoken aloud.
