Summary
This unique collection of poems from the poet laureate, filled with her characteristic wit, is a feminist classic and a modern take on age-old mythology.
Who? Him. The Husband. Hero. Hunk. The Boy Next Door. The Paramour. The Je t'adore.
Behind every famous man is a great woman - and from the quick-tongued Mrs Darwin to the lascivious Frau Freud, from the adoring Queen Kong to the long-suffering wife of the devil himself, each one steps from her counterpart's shadow to tell her side of the story in this irresistible collection.
Original, subversive, full of imagination and quicksilver wit, The World's Wife is poet laureate Carol Ann Duffy at her beguiling best.

Narrator
I found this really hard to listen to due to the monotonous narrator - it was such a shame that such a skilled poet did not bring her poetry to life. I gave up and read the book instead which I really enjoyed
