Acerca de esta escucha

Meet Mabel Loomis Todd, an inspired conversationalist who routinely invites scandal and ignores the rules of 19th century society. Now in her 70s and living on Hog Island in Maine, the outspoken writer and editor is holding court, entertaining us with musings on her colorful life, spilling secrets, and revealing the truth about how she turned Emily Dickinson into a household name. In an intriguing performance, Obie Award winner Kathleen Chalfant embodies the spirit of a fascinating woman whose legacy is forever linked to one of America’s most celebrated poets.

A Woman of the World was originally produced by the Acting Company in association with Miranda Theatre Company. Written with the support of an artist residency at Hog Island Audubon Camp.

I rather enjoyed this story told is if it were the reminiscences of a neighbor of Emily Dickenson. The tone is chatty and wanders just enough to allow the story teller to include bits and pieces of Emily's life in a friendly way, The narrator interprets the occasional poem very well.

Interesting tale

I totally enjoyed this little piece which revealed fascinating and previously unknown (by me) details of the life of Mabel Loomis Todd and her relationship with the famously enigmatic Emily Dickinson. The performance was deliciously witty and entertaining-A+ Audible!

Totally enjoyable

I read the other reviews and expected this to be pretty bad. I listened to the sample and I think some readers don’t understand the humor of the author. She invites you into the world of a complete narcissist. Satirical and nutty...it’s just short enough not to be overdone.

Hilarious

So manny adventures had so many losses. Life ... unfairly beautiful and sad...a love story that will shock and ultimately leave you wanting for in her joy you see the beauty and in her loss you feel the pain...but that is life...

So beautiful and so sad!

l truly enjoyed the story and the performance so much that I am sorry it is over.
In my case it was a freebie and I am glad it was, because otherwise I would never have come across to it and I would have missed out a lot.

Very good.

This was a wonderful little book. Very well narrated, I found myself googling the characters to get a deeper understanding of the facts surrounding them. Highly Recommended.

Wonderful

This was a very different take on a time that gets so much romanticized about. Not your average view of the times of Emily Dickinson, but amazingly constructed. Well done! Excellent performance!

Oh my!
