About

This selection of stories relates the many experiences and complexities of womanhood; sometimes joyful, sometimes sad but always enriching. With stories by Edith Wharton, Katherine Mansfield and Elizabeth Gaskell-it includes Ladies in Lavender by William J. Locke, the inspiration for the film of the same name starring Judi Dench and Maggie Smith. Narrated by Harriet Walter, a popular British actress whose movie and tv credits include ‘Atonement’, ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ and Netflix's ‘The Crown’.
