Learning to Talk

In "Learning to Talk," two-time Man Booker Prize winner Hilary Mantel offers a captivating collection of short stories that reflect the transformative moments of childhood. With sharp humor and emotional depth, Mantel revisits a 1950s northern village, where her child narrator navigates loss, identity, and friendship in a world marked by complexity. These loosely autobiographical tales, featuring vibrant characters and poignant experiences, unravel the subtle yet profound ways our early years shape who we become. Enhanced by a new foreword from Mantel herself, this audiobook invites listeners to experience the intricate layers of childhood through masterful storytelling.
