    While her mother is in the hospital coping with agoraphobia, Cosy Walker copes with living in a foster home. Luckily, her foster parents are atypically (for most fiction) nurturing and kind-hearted. Jemma and Jade, two sisters also in foster care, are rougher than she is used to, but end up liking Cosy in spite of her being a "posh" speaker. One more change in her life is her new high school, where she has a scholarship and must succeed. Math will be her downfall, and she despairs. Then, one unhappy night, she sees a "ghost" girl from World War II in her room, writing in her journal. Though the two see each other, they never communicate. Nevertheless, the "ghostly" Kathleen manages to help Cosy. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kim Hicks. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/bbcw/001118/bk_bbcw_001118_sample.mp3.

    Perhaps best known for her classic novel The Age of Innocence, Wharton loved the short story form because its brevity allowed her to concentrate on telling the story. In these three powerful stories, Edith Wharton transports the listener to the turn of the century, where she depicts (without turning to sensationalism) the shocking topics of the time. Often, she opens just after an incident, allowing the listener to be immersed straight into the story. In 'Souls Belated' we meet a couple on a train, digesting and reacting to that morning’s event. In 'The Muse’s Tragedy', a young man meets his favourite poet’s muse and soon uncovers the truth about their much talked-about relationship. Atypically, 'Roman Fever' starts with a seemingly normal day in Rome and soon reveals a lot more than expected when two middle-aged women start recalling a past trip to the Italian capital. These stories are read by the accomplished actress Janet Maw. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Janet Maw. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/copy/000144/bk_copy_000144_sample.mp3.
