Torn

Anna is in her early 70s and met her future husband when they were 12 years old. One day, Anna's daughter handed her a card from another woman.

Kate is in her mid-50s. Her husband gave Kate her dream family, and for her kids, she tolerated his drinking and affairs. But then he started gambling away their futures.

Liana, in her mid-40s, was in a series of abusive relationships before she finally met a man who seemed 'normal'. Then she spotted the signs of addiction she knew all too well.

Amanda, in her mid-30s, and her husband were childhood sweethearts. She found out he'd been visiting sex workers since their wedding – then she met the love of her life.

Torn is an intimate, compelling exploration of the age-old dilemma – to stay in an unhappy relationship, or to leave? This audiobook is about four women in moments of crisis – and what they chose to do next.
