Summary

"To you, who have never known me."

Immediately following the death of her young son, distraught and heartbroken, a woman sends a heart-wrenching letter to the only man she has ever loved, chronicling their love affair, opening with, "To you, who have never known me."

Letter from an Unknown Woman is a masterful work by Stefan Zweig who is perhaps one of the most widely translated authors in the world.

Passionate story poorly narrated

Stefan Zweig takes us into the world of a woman’s deep passion against the backdrop of interwar Vienna.
Unfortunately the narration features a man who seems to think he’s auditioning for a horror movie trailer, an unconvincing female lead, and the odd sound effect from a sonic dressing-up box. Pity.

What a hideous performance indeed

I found the whole thing pretentious & vulgar. I should have sampled the book before buying this theatrical presentation - truly pitiful.
