À propos de cette écoute
A heartfelt exploration of how everyday objects take on deeply personal meanings in our lives.
One August day, months after her marriage abruptly ended, a heart-shaped baking tin fell at Bee Wilson’s feet: the same one she had used to bake her wedding cake twenty-three years prior. This discovery struck a wave of emotions that propelled her in search of others who have invested kitchen objects with magical and personal properties. A favorite wooden spoon or a saltshaker inherited from a parent: these and other items become powerful symbols of identity and memory, representing friendship, grief, love, superstition, safety, and political resistance. Crossing continents, cultures, and time periods, Wilson weaves her own family story into a wider narrative, highlighting objects such as a 5,000-year-old ancient Ecuadorian ceramic bottle used for drinking chocolate, hand-shaped kitchen tongs, vintage corkscrews, and her mother’s silver-plated toast rack. Thoughtful, sharp, and beautifully written, The Heart-Shaped Tin is a profoundly moving examination of our relationship to the physical world—and the people around us—in an increasingly rational and secular age.
