Overall the stories and the reading were great, particularly "The Rembrandt". I didn't really enjoy "Copy" because the male reader used a ridiculously unnatural voice.

Wharton & Klett

(5 Sterne)

Exceptional! Every story has it’s own charm and Miss Klett’s narration brings every story to us in earnest joy. So much fun!

Wharton Short Stories Very Pleasing

(5 Sterne)

It is good to find the genius of Wharton extended to full character developmen, even in abbreviated short story format. Wonderfully read.

Not for me

(3 Sterne)

Way too many adverbs and adjectives. I called it quits after about 5 minutes.

Well written.

Fantastic set of stories (with some surprise endings) and wonderfully read by Elizabeth Klett!

She did it again!
