This edition included two other short stories as well as “The Woman Destroyed” (TWD, for short). I enjoyed TWD much more than the other two stories, but they all focused around woman dealing with loss in their lives.
TWD dealt with the main character slowly losing her husband to another woman, but with him goes her sense of self.
It was deeply saddening and really hurt my heart. I began to empathize with the main character and only wanted to see her happy.
<small spoiler>The only reason I’m not giving this a 5/5 is because of the ambiguous ending. I’m not a huge a fan of unresolved conflict, so just a small warning to those of you like me.
