The Yellow Wallpaper

Written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman

Narrated by Mackenzie Menter

Mackenzie Menter performs Charlotte Perkins Gilman's famous 1892 tale of a woman's decent into madness.

The unnamed narrator secretly keeps a journal and chronicles her decent into madness while subjected to her doctor-husband's severe postpartum rest cure. She begins to see that a woman is trapped in the suffocating wallpaper that envelops her room, and she becomes determined—at all costs—to free her.

Rediscovered and celebrated by feminists and humanists in the 1970s, its powerful atmosphere of mystery and underlying message retains its strength to this day. Original Music and Sound Design by Jennifer Rouse.

Reviews for The Yellow Wallpaper

[Sakiba Prioty · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I would give this book a 4.7 stars rating but since that isn't an option I will stick to 5. The narrator has done a marvelous job narrating the story. I was on my toes throughout the book wondering what's going to happen next. The sound effects deserve a 100 in my opinion. Great book! Loved how deep it dives into the mental health realm and the importance of it.

Well, that was something. This has so many layers than it seems.

[Mayra Nakamura · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Loved the reading. I think the narrator got the humor, irony and despair perfectly.
