Description

Milkmaid Rhoda Brooks cannot control her jealousy of Gertrude – a beautiful woman who has just married a rich farmer. So when Gertrude appears in her dream she cannot help but reach out and grab the arm of the woman she wishes she was. As Gertrude s arm begins to wither away in real life and no physicians are able to give her a solution, she must turn to a conjurer. Considered one of Hardy s most successful short stories, The Withered Arm is unmissable for those who enjoyed the suspense of Edgar Allen Poe s A Tell-Tale Heart
