The Lost Phoebe by Theodore Dreiser

Story level 2

Audio book with subtitle

 

The Lost Phoebe is a short story written by Theodore Dreiser. In this story, it is the wife, Phoebe, who dies first, after their marriage of 48 years. But the story does not start here. Dreiser first introduces the reader to the couple's equally-old house with the things found therein, heartbreaking things carrying loads of memories of when they were still both young and when they still had their children with them (one, a carpet woven by their daughter at 15, a daughter who had died in her teens).
