About this ebook

Mrs. Louise Mallard, afflicted with a heart condition, reflects on the death of her husband from the safety of her locked room. Originally published in Vogue magazine, “The Story of an Hour” was retitled as “The Dream of an Hour,” when it was published amid much controversy under its new title a year later in St. Louis Life. “The Story of an Hour” was adapted to film in The Joy That Kills by director Tina Rathbone, which was part of a PBS anthology called American Playhouse.

Ratings and reviews

I need to read it but I don't ha access to it. I can no say anything because I can't see the e book I just paid for. you keep asking me to rate the service but you don't allow me to read the book. I paid to read it and you don't even let me open it. how can I say anything about your service if after I pay for the book all you ask me to do is to write aa 100 words review. does that make any sense. I don't thank you should constrain people to write review like that.

Its only a small short story but it is too costely for this book. I dont see this book for this much price. The price is too high for just 10 pg

it was a awesome story....
