This is Not a Pity Memoir is by Abi Morgan and tells the story of what happened to her and her family after ordinary family life was upended in an instant. Nicola Walker is the reader.

Abi Morgan is the BAFTA award-winning screen writer whose credits include The Split, The Hour, Suffragette and the Iron Lady. This is her powerful and moving memoir. It begins on an ordinary June day, with Abi getting through her seemingly endless to do list. When she gets home, the man she has loved and fought and laughed with for twenty years is collapsed on the bathroom floor. Nothing will ever be the same for Abi, Jacob and their two children. What follows is the story of how Abi and her family navigated the worst times. It鈥檚 honest, courageous funny, and hopeful. And it鈥檚 a tender love story.

The reader is Nicola Walker. Her credits for TV include Abi Morgan's, The Split; Unforgotten, Last Tango in Halifax, Spooks, and for theatre, The Corn is Green, The Cane, A View From the Bridge. Credits for radio include Annika Stranded & The Hotel.
