About this listen

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.

Critic Reviews

'With Torn, Nicole Madigan has given any woman who is white-knuckling it through the muck and mire of the unknown – the indecision and the teeming what-ifs – proof that she is not alone, that other women have walked here before her and are walking alongside her even now.' (Naima Brown, author of Mother Tongue)
'Nicole Madigan does it again! I couldn’t put it down. Compelling, harrowing, deeply moving and utterly enlightening. It's told with care, compassion and laser-sharp insight to expose the true beating heart of the human condition.' (Shannon Molloy, award-winning journalist and bestselling author of Fourteen)
