I listened to Mother Mary Comes to Me narrated by the author, Arundhati Roy. I thought it was brilliant but someone in my online book club said they found her voice a bit irritating! Maybe try it if you'd enjoy a memoir.

The Five… about Jack The Rippers victims . Their life stories not about their murders
