From the BAFTA award-winning screenwriter, Abi Morgan, comes her powerful memoir. Jacob the man she has loved and fought and laughed with for twenty years is hospital after collapsing on the bathroom floor. Something is wrong, but the doctors don鈥檛 know what. As Abi waits for a diagnosis she looks back twenty years, to the first time she met Jacob, and her heart went ping. The reader is Nicola Walker.

Abi Morgan's screenwriting credits include The Split, The Hour, Suffragette and the Iron Lady. This is Not a Pity Memoir is her first book. I begins on an ordinary June day, with Abi getting through her seemingly endless to do list. When she gets home, Jacob is not at all well. Nothing will ever be the same for him, Abi 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. Told with honesty, courage and humour, the language is sometimes strong.

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.
