有声读物:The Story of an Hour by Kate Chopin

There were unexpected twists and turns in this story.
In the beginning of the story, the husband was thought to have been killed in the railway disaster. Since the wife had heart disease, "great care was taken to break to the wife as gently as possible the news of her husband's death."  The wife managed to accept the sad news.
At the end of the story, the wife was so excited to see her husband coming home alive.  Yet "she died of heart disease--of the joy that kills."
