This is the moving and powerful story of Edna Pontellier, a beautiful young wife and mother who discovers her true feelings and identity through her love for Robert Lebrun, and in so doing challenges the bourgeois assumptions of her day. First published in 1899 in America, it prompted shock and outrage, but has since come to be recognized as a modern classic.

There are a few instances in which I wish Chopin would show me instead of telling me, and trust me to draw my own conclusions. That aside, this is a beautiful story of a woman's tragic longing. The sea and grass imagery is gorgeous and powerful.
