On a sunbaked Creole isle, Edna Pontellier, twenty-eight-year-old wife and mother, experiences the first pangs of passion and desire--an awakening so intense that Edna promises herself it is only the beginning. Far too bold and candid for its time, THE AWAKENING (1899) sparked a vicious national scandal that plagued Kate Chopin for the rest of her life. Richly evocative and sensuous, Chopin's portrayal of a woman who resisted authority in her quest for freedom is now regarded as a landmark in American fiction.
