I think one of the reasons I love Guy de Maupassant’s writing so much is that his taste seems to be like mine. I’m no master of the short story like he is, but when you start a Maupassant story, you never know where it will take you. It could be vampires, mental illness, or a story about the unfair plight of women with an effective and seemingly effortless denouement.

 

Today’s story is one of his most famous, and often anthologized. I hope you like it.

 

 

And now, The Diamond Necklace, by Guy de Maupassant.
