About this listen

For fans of Emily Henry and Abby Jimenez, The Anatomy of Us is the debut novel by Sunday Times bestseller and renowned midwife Leah Hazard, performed by Academy Award nominee Jessie Buckley.

It’s New Year’s Eve in Edinburgh’s biggest hospital, and Dr. Becca Armitage is struggling. After a devastating shift in the emergency room leaves her questioning everything, she signs herself off work and spirals into depression. Enter Dr. Andrew Maitland – charming, wealthy and, according to Becca, 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. Can two imperfect people find a way to be honest with each other, and themselves?

The Anatomy of Us is a moving story about medicine, self-acceptance, and the messy reality of falling in love. By turns hilarious and heart-breaking, it is an intimate exploration of what it means to be human in all our glorious imperfections.

I thought this might be too close to the bone being a burnt out health professional with depression but I loved how unusually real it was; the characters, the dialogue, the cold, the black dog, the tenderness, the selfies, the mistakes, the hope and the untied strings. The very best sort of “Romcom”. Jessie Buckley’s narration was amazing with the different genders and accents sounding so natural. I was expecting Becca to be Scottish so was confused by Irish accent initially. Andrew really sounds posh, old money, and the most beautiful man in the world. Encore!!!

I smiled and cried rare tears

Best book I’ve listened to for a long time. The writing is SO GOOD you feel you are right there with the characters. And it’s intelligent. The plot and the characters ring true and are so brilliantly drawn, they are completely believable and relatable. The narration is spot on - Jessie Buckley gives an amazing performance and an absolute showcase of her range of perfect Scottish, Irish and (multiple) British accents. Thoroughly recommend.

The only thing wrong with it was I wanted more. It was so beautiful. A little Bridget jones to begin with and if your want super spice then this is not your book. But omg every woman wants a man like Andrew, and the way she’s written about depression is so accurate, you will laugh a little cry a little and laugh with tears of happiness in your eyes.

Absolutely loved this
