And then, a baby's heartbeat arrived. A rapid, pulsing whoosh of white noise. An undeniable rhythm. Once again, Alice's life became cacophonous - both with a new child, but also with the societal pressures that motherhood holds. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat followed was a personal quest to rediscover sound as something alive and vital and restorative. Beyond music, Alice's journey takes her into new corners of listening: from the phantom crying heard by mothers across the world to the nightingale's song and the crackle of the \u003ci\u003eAurora Borealis\u003c\/i\u003e. As our attention spans shrink and our sense of disconnection grows, Alice wants to find out if sound - seeking it, trying to hold on to it, making space for it in her life - can reconnect her not only to lost parts of herself but to a life more consciously lived. \u003ci\u003eHark \u003c\/i\u003eis a book for women who feel unheard and a means of listening more deeply in a world that has grown too loud.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Canongate Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54246987170136,"sku":"9781805302063","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781805302063_fc2e5fec-bf1b-4615-8682-fea47c06970a.jpg?v=1777790752","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/hark-2","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
