Story
As England prepares to fight the Nazis, three very different women answer the call to mysterious country estate Bletchley Park, where the best minds in Britain train to break German military codes. Vivacious debutante Osla is the girl who has everything - beauty, wealth, and the dashing Prince Philip of Greece sending her roses - but she burns to prove herself as more than a society girl, and puts her fluent German to use as a translator of decoded enemy secrets.

Story
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

Publisher's summary
Unique to this title is:
- A historical introduction
- An overview of "The Yellow Wallpaper"
- A study of the themes present in "The Yellow Wallpaper"
- A list of famous quotes from "The Yellow Wallpaper"
You may of course skip all of it and go straight to the main title if you do not want any spoilers and come back later to the beginning.
"The Yellow Wallpaper" is a short story by American writer Charlotte Perkins Gilman.
Gilman was born in 1860 in Connecticut. When she was a child, her father abandoned his wife and children, and she spent the rest of her childhood in poverty. Since her mother was not able to support the family, her aunts played a big part in her upbringing.
Her schooling was erratic, and she attended seven different schools in just four years, finishing when she was 15. To prevent her children from getting hurt as she had been, her mother forbade them to make strong friendships or read fiction.
Despite that, Gilman spent a lot of time in the local library studying ancient civilizations on her own.
In her best-known work, "The Yellow Wallpaper", Gilman writes about different kinds of oppression that women were exposed to at the time. Women were patronized and treated as mentally weak and fragile. They were believed to be prone to many "nervous conditions" and particularly hysteria.

Story
In the heart of the South Pacific lies Point Nemo, the most desolate and remote place on Earth. At its core is a dead zone, devoid of life, where government agencies crash their obsolete satellites and space stations, confident they won't harm a soul. When the International Space Station suffers a catastrophic failure and plummets through the atmosphere, it's here that Mission Specialist Julie Rohr, an astrobiologist studying living space dust called xylem, finds herself marooned. Julie's only hope for rescue lies in the hands of her estranged father, Dr. Finn Maddern, a renowned mycologist.

Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson. Before they were household names, these budding legends called Sue’s Nashville apartment—lovingly dubbed the “Boar’s Nest”—home. Sue’s place was an intimate staging ground where a new breed of singer-songwriters—wounded souls, wayward upstarts—would spur each other on to tap into something bigger, realer.

Winner of an Obie and a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, and directed by Tony nominee Leigh Silverman, Yellow Face is as timely as ever, wrestling with issues of cultural appropriation, complicity, and artistic freedom. It’s brought to life in this audio-only revival by a stunning all-star cast (many playing themselves) led by Daniel Dae Kim.

Story
When the call came it seemed like the answer to my prayers. My career as a voice actor had been over for months and me and my little girl Scarlet were living back at my mum’s place. I felt like a failure professionally—and with Scarlet having problems at school, as a parent as well. So, when I was asked to narrate a new book by disappeared novelist Philippa Roberts I jumped at the chance, even if it meant leaving Scarlet with my ex, Hugo, for a few weeks. Hugo, with his perfect new home and his perfect new girlfriend Saskia. But this isn’t a dream come true. It’s a nightmare.

Story
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

Good, sad story
This is the first book I’ve read/listened to by this author. The author had postpartum depression and that is the feel I got from the story- seemed to me the main character may have suffered a little from the same initially. It’s sad what this woman endured. I listened to the book before the introduction.
This is the third book I’ve listened to by this narrator ( Jessica Renfro ) and I would listen to another. She does a wonderful job bringing the desperation and obsession out in the main characters voice.
There are no explicit sex scenes, excessive violence or swearing.

An original and somewhat creepy story
*I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.*
At the beginning I thought the story wouldn't be there and that it was a book about Charlotte Perkins's original writing.
When it started I was relieved and amazed at the narrator. I also love a story when the ending leaves me open-mouthed and wondering what was that I have just heard.
A must read if you like creepy short stories and are ready to be confused.

Yellow Wallpaper
First a warning/suggestion: The publishers of this book have placed historical annotations at the beginning of this Audible version. In my opinion, they should be at the end. If you listen to them before the story, the whole effect is spoiled.
The story is thoroughly creepy and, without giving away the whole thing, something that I will remember for a long time. Yes, it is horror, but also a very disturbing look into the psyche of a woman slowly going mad.
The narrator did a great job and truly conveyed the madness, getting more and more frantic as the story progressed. A true classic in the horror genre, and a great feminist treatise as well.

The Annotated Version Makes a Huge Difference!
I read The Yellow Wallpaper a few years ago. I read it and felt rather bleh about it. I did not quite understand the context and where the writer was coming from. Many people have been surpised that I did not LOVE it, knowing what I love to read.
I have found recently, I have loved reading classics with annotations in them! Whether I am giving a book a second chance or rereading a favourite, the notes add such a great depth and understanding to the story.
I loved that the notes for this were at the beginning. It is a very well organized, in depth introduction. I enjoyed listening to this story vastly more, with the background I gained going into this short, semi autobiographical story.
I can understand why this short story has stood the test of time as a feminist piece of literature.
Jessica Renfro has a beautiful voice and inserts great emotions into her story telling.

Incredible story well done
Engaging story and performance. It is incredible how blind men were when treating women for “nervous” disorders. It is obvious that this treatment plan was not working yet the doctor persists believing he is right. I suppose it may not have been so obvious from just observation, but if he had listened he may have heard her cry for change.

Well performed, darkly humorous
The preview had me thinking this book would be very disturbing, but I found it to be quite funny, though perhaps in a dark and slightly twisted manner. The narrator was excellent at performing the role rather than just reading the lines. I received a free review copy of this audio book in exchange for an honest review.

Not my kind of book
"I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review." When I finally got to the story, I felt like I had already heard it because of the historical review. The story was a lot better than the review. What a sad time period for women.
