Episode 156: The Necklace

from The Easy Chair with Laura Hurwitz Hosted by Laura Hurwitz

Today on The Easy Chair, just sit back and let me read you a classic short story: “The Necklace” by Guy de Maupassant. When the wife of a lowly clerk is invited to a fancy ball, she complains that she has no jewels to wear. When her husband suggests she borrow a necklace from a wealthy friend, it seems like an excellent idea, until...well, listen in and find out what happens next in this tale of vanity, envy, pride, and assumption. It's a return to the good old days! I love reading y'all a story. This week’s episode is brought to you by Ritual, the once daily subscription vitamin that I am absolutely committed to. The vast majority of women don’t get the recommended amount of nutrients from diet alone. Ritual brilliantly fills in the gap. Go to ritual.com/easychair and order yours today. Your body will thank you for it!
