About this listen

The third of CSA Word's popular women's short story collections.

Nine unabridged works by time-honoured female and male writers exploring what love, family, and marriage mean.

This collection brings together stories by Edith Wharton, Katherine Mansfield, Wilkie Collins and Marcel Proust, with forays into the supernatural and the comedic by Sabine Baring-Gould and Saki. Be them funny or moving, all stories are beautifully read by Harriet Walter (Atonement, Netflix’s The Crown), Juliet Stevenson (Bend it Like Beckham, The Enfield Haunting), Barbara Leigh-Hunt (Pride and Prejudice, Billy Elliot) and Rosalind Ayres (Titanic, Outnumbered).

Critic reviews

"CSA Word's collections of 'stories by or about women', narrated by such excellent readers as Rosalind Ayres, Juliet Stevenson and Harriet Walters are consistently fascinating." (The Times)

Very frustrated by this poorly presented anthology from Audible. No details to be found of which authors and stories are included or the order in which they appear in the recording. Stories run into one another and you easily miss the name and author for each consecutive story unless listening very carefully. First 2 stories were great (though I missed the title of #2) but following three were weak and I'm giving up as no way to skip to next story. A waste of money; better buy a printed book.
