Awakening Mass market paperbound - 1982
by Kate Chopin
In the summer of her 28th year, Edna Pontellier and her children, along with the wives and families of other prospective businessmen, spend the summer in an idyllic coastal community away from their husbands and the sweltering heat of 1890s' New Orleans. Aware of deep yearnings that are unfulfilled by marriage and motherhood, Edna plunges into an illicit liaison that reawakens her long dormant desires, inflames her heart, and eventually blinds her to all else.
About this book
“She was becoming herself and daily casting aside that fictitious self which we assume like a garment with which to appear before the world.”
