A middle class housewife suffers a rude awakening. Read by Joanna Tope.

A middle class housewife suffers a rude awakening when she realises the truth about her cleaning lady. Read by Joanna Tope.

Acclaimed short story writer and novelist Elizabeth Taylor was known for her witty and powerful explorations of the bitter frustrations and passions which lurk beneath the civilised veneer of middle class life.

In The Blush, the peaceful but empty existence of a childless housewife implodes when she realises that the influence of her cleaning lady is far more wide-reaching than she had ever imagined.


Produced by Amanda Hargreaves.
