Literature -- 5 stars
A young mother, married to a physician, finds herself isolated in a country house--chosen by her husband, sleeping in a bedroom--chosen by her husband, and forbidden to write--an edict by her husband. The wallpaper becomes her secret companion as she slowly goes mad. ----- Written in 1892, this 24 page, early feminist short story is beautiful and haunting and frightening in equal measure. Eerie and moving.
