Publisher's summary

Desiree is married to a wealthy but violent captain of a fishing trawler. For ten years of marriage he terrorizes her, until one night his boat is wrecked at sea and he is never seen alive again.

Four years later, Desiree buys an ill-tempered and foul-mouthed parrot in an auction, and a new nightmare begins.

Horrible on every level

Do not get this if you care for birds or others , the woman in the story has endured a horrid life and it continues to the end... zero redeeming qualities

Good story bad reader

Guy de Maupassant is a masterful writer however Cathy Dobson's narration makes it difficult to enjoy
