Audiobook — read by Nell Cabot

Editions

One voice, two objects.

The audiobook is how the memoir arrives — close-mic, unhurried, in Nell's own reading. The hardcover is how it stays: signed, on the shelf, next to the headphones.

Audiobook Signed hardcover One order

The audiobook bundle

The memoir, read aloud by Nell and bundled with the signed hardcover — one order, one listening, one object to hold afterwards.

The signed hardcover

The physical companion to the recording. Read a chapter in Nell's voice, then turn to the same page in the copy on your table.

Essay collection

Essays that sit alongside the memoir.

The essays are written for the space around the memoir: the pieces that circle it, in Nell's voice on the page. Read them after the audiobook, or before — the order is yours.

Kept short on purpose. A piece for the length of a walk, a commute, or the time it takes the coffee to go cold.

  • 01Written to sit alongside the memoir, not inside it.
  • 02Short pieces — one sitting each.
  • 03Available on its own, or added to an order.

Book club

The discussion guide, cued.

The guide is built like a cue sheet. Every marker points back to a moment in the recording, so the room is never waiting for someone to remember where a passage was.

One table, five cues, one recording
  1. Cue 01

    Opening

    Set the table with the first thing each reader noticed on the way in.

  2. Cue 02

    The turn

    Where the book changes its mind — and where the group changed theirs.

  3. Cue 03

    The middle

    The passage that reads differently out loud than it does on the page.

  4. Cue 04

    The quiet parts

    What gets said plainly, and what gets left just under the surface.

  5. Cue 05

    Closing

    Where the group lands, and what each reader carries back out of the room.

Tell us about your group and the questions you have in mind.

Order

Start with the bundle. Add the rest as you go.

The audiobook bundle and the signed hardcover are the center of the order. The discussion guide, the essay collection and a recorded Q&A can be added whenever your group is ready.
