    A walk around the block, a quick drive, before shutting down your PC ? these short story collections are perfect for when you only have a few minutes to listen."

    "hit and miss."

    three or four of the stories were worth it, but I cannot recommend it highly. If it's free okay, but otherwise keep your money. Cheers

    All children mythologize their birth... So begins the prologue of reclusive author Vida Winter's beloved collection of stories, long famous for the mystery of the missing thirteenth tale. The enigmatic Winter has always kept her violent and tragic past a secret. Now old and ailing, she summons a biographer to tell the truth about her extraordinary life: Margaret Lea, a young woman for whom the secret of her own birth remains an ever-present pain.

    Cathleen says: "Once you finish it, you'll listen again!"
    "Good Narration, but it dragged on and on"

    Story

    I like interior monologue just as much as the next person, but this was too much for me. I guess you have to be a fan Withering Heights, The Woman in White etc. The long pauses, stifled emotions and deep meaningful glances had me screaming in the car. The story is somewhat interesting but I would not recommend it. The narration was very good.
