THE HEART-SHAPED TIN Love, Loss, and Kitchen Objects

In her latest audiobook, Wilson explores everyday kitchen objects and how they become an extension of ourselves. Wilson's marriage unexpectedly ends around the same time that her mother is diagnosed with dementia. Wilson finds that she can't bear to be around her husband's left-behind belongings because they are so thoroughly a part of his identity. She then introduces listeners to people who are intrinsically linked to personal possessions, like a Holocaust survivor who defiantly crafted a metal spoon while imprisoned and a Syrian refugee unable to cook without his vegetable corers. Wilson's voice is steady and measured throughout, but her narration shines whenever she tenderly speaks of her mother. This thoughtful memoir will make listeners consider the importance of their own everyday objects. [Published: JANUARY 2026]
