One of my favorites. The plot twist was genuinely shocking, and made the whole thing extra enjoyable.

Short and to the point. A story about postpartum depression and the stark reminder that not too long ago women were confined and treated dispassionately while being in deep need of care. 
The real horror of this story is how little has actually changed.
