About this listen
Intense, brilliant and moving, The Door is a compelling story about the relationship between two women of opposing backgrounds and personalities: one, an intellectual and writer; the other, her housekeeper, a mysterious, elderly woman who sets her own rules and abjures religion, education, pretense and any kind of authority. Beneath this hardened exterior of Emerence lies a painful story that must be concealed. One of Hungary's best-known writers, Magda Szabo' here explores themes of love, loyalty, pride and privacy, and the barriers and secrets that govern them.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Please Audible more of this author and narrator!!!
I had virtually tired of fiction but the intelligence and humanity behind this wondrous story has left me hungry for more. Unfortunately this is the only work of this author’s available at the moment, but I have requested more from Audible in the hope they might be able to assist. I watched the film with Helen Mirren in the role of Emerence and was delighted to find the book in Audible version. The film was excellent but the book was even better. Brilliant!

Sublime
Best narration of an audiobook I've ever heard. A heavy novel, but I adored every moment of it.
