The title story of this book is on the 1001 list which was main reason for picking it up, although I’m not always a great lover of short stories.

I enjoyed the main story, it was incredible how subtle it is and how it draws you in, you can't help but feel sorry for her, locked in a room with yellow paper and not being believed by the people who are supposed to love and support her. Also had me worried, I see faces and shapes in things - wood grain, clouds - not come across yellow wallpaper yet so I should be ok!!

I also enjoyed the other short stories in this book, they all gave you something to think about. The only one I was not keen on was Making a Change - it started off a mother in law who was controlling and a pain then ended up all very happily ever after with her in such a short amount of time, it just rang a little untrue with me.

I particularly enjoyed Turned. - the man who got his letters mixed up. Should never have an affair it will always come back and bite you on the bum at some point!

Left in the phone box library for someone else to enjoy
