Leah Hazard In Conversation with Julia Wheeler

The Anatomy of Us, an Audible Original

Hay Festival 2025, 

Leah Hazard, Sunday Times bestselling author of Hard Pushed and Womb, introduces her debut novel The Anatomy of Us. Published exclusively in audio as an Audible Original and brought to life with stunning narration from Wicked Little Letters star Jessie Buckley, Leah’s fiction debut was inspired by her first-hand experiences on the NHS front line and written in-between long, hectic shifts. The story unfolds amidst the chaos of New Year’s Eve in an Edinburgh hospital, where two perfectly imperfect, dysfunctional healthcare heroes struggle to love each other – and themselves – in a system full of the highest highs and the lowest lows. Join Leah as she discusses her influences and inspirations for The Anatomy of Us, why mental health has to be a feature of any NHS love story and what it’s like to launch a debut exclusively on audio.
