Short but compelling story about women's mental health and controlling husbands. Great read.

I'm terrified. The image of this women just crawling ('creeping') quickly round and round the edges of her room, and her husband opening the door and seeing her, fainting and her thought is that it's annoying, now she must creep over him each lap. There's something so chilling about reading a first person diary entry style book, where the narrator descends into psychoses. The 'women behind the paper' was creepy to start, but it was when she began to think she was the woman that was the worst. Written seamlessly and expertly, a definate 5 stars. Huge statement on the treatment of women, mental health, and the prescription of bed rest/ 'rest cure' where you're not allowed to do anything but sit or sleep. The wallpaper was unsettling, especially the pattern, although that was the point!
