Publisher's summary

“The Yellow Wallpaper” whispers secrets from its peeling edges, a silent witness to a woman’s descent into madness. In the dim light of her secluded room, she grapples with more than just faded wallpaper; it’s her sanity that unravels thread by thread. As the moon casts eerie shadows, the yellow hue takes on a life of its own, revealing cryptic patterns—a dance of confinement and rebellion.

Within these walls, reality blurs, and the boundaries between perception and illusion blur further. Is the wallpaper merely a mundane backdrop, or does it harbor something darker? The protagonist’s obsession grows, fueled by whispers that echo through the cracks. She becomes both detective and victim, chasing elusive truths while the room breathes secrets.

“The Yellow Wallpaper” beckons you to peer beyond its surface, to question what lies beneath. Beware, for once you step into its faded embrace, there’s no turning back.

Haunting and Riveting take on Mental Health

Really enjoyed this unreliable narrator’s story that was far deeper than even we end up knowing. Well narrated and a quick, thought provoking listen. A story that really shows how women’s mental health was treated then and even today.
