Product Information
Edna Pontellier is married, twenty-eight, and at a crossroads in her life. She is passionate and artistic but has no one who understands her deep yearnings. She jumps at the chance to spend a summer away from her husband and the heat of New Orleans at a small coastal retreat.Here she is enveloped by a small circle of friends where she begins to throw off the strictures and moirés of the 1890s bourgeoisie. Stepwise, Edna renounces her obligations, takes a lover, and is propelled on a course that frees, consumes, and eventually destroys her.In what was to be her last novel, Kate Chopin shocked the readers of her day by showing a woman being fulfilled by throwing off the ties of marriage and children.Product Identifiers
