Revelations of a Wife invites listeners into the intricate world of Margaret "Madge" Graham, a spirited former schoolteacher navigating the complexities of marriage with her artist husband, Dicky. Serialized in newspapers from 1915, this engaging narrative captures the trials and triumphs of their relationship, reflecting the societal expectations of the early 20th century.

Set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing America, Madge's story explores themes of independence, love, and the challenges of balancing personal aspirations with marital commitments. As she confronts the ups and downs of her life, listeners will find themselves drawn into her journey of self-discovery and resilience.

Adele Garrison's keen observations and relatable characters resonate with readers, making this work a fascinating glimpse into the emotional landscape of a woman striving for autonomy in a traditional world. With a rich history and a devoted readership, Revelations of a Wife remains a significant piece of early 20th-century literature.

Fine narration. A little slow in parts but that might be me. The wife is maddeningly long-suffering but thank god she breaks from her passivity when pushed too far. 3 dimensional character. Thumbs up.


(3.5 Sterne)

Interesting take on marriage. Can’t say I disagree entirely; but then that’s what makes story-telling so engaging.

Great book. Lovely to be taken back to such old times
