OH MY…

Isn’t it supposed to be 60 pages not 24?

Early feminist story. Brilliant & spooky.

I don’t want to spoil anything and it is very short so read it.

As a recommendation from a friend, this short story did not disappoint! I love the message and language used. I would recommend this to readers who enjoy stories with female protagonists that focus on the human condition.

I thought it was supposed to be about her husband making her worse and I guess that that is one interpretation, but it also seemed like she was going to go insane no matter what. The husband definitely had some toxic positivity, but I don’t think she was trapped in that room physically. She was trapped in her own mind. But it does make you think. The husband was controlling at times and he was too close to her to truly be her doctor.

The narrator draws you in and compels you to believe her. The story shows exactly how not to treat those who are experiencing mental health issues. It is relevant to this day.

It kept me going to the very end. I loved it.
