Description

Edna Pontellier wakes at Grand Isle and will not sleep again as Léonce’s obedient wife. In New Orleans, Robert Lebrun, Adèle Ratignolle, and Mlle Reisz’s piano pull her toward a self that motherhood and marriage cannot hold. Swim, music, and the rooms she can no longer keep, with the Gulf as her weather and a self she will no longer refuse.

Author

Kate Chopin was an American nineteenth-century writer, who is best known for her literary works featuring themes of women’s emancipation and the search for individual identity. Characterized by the use of naturalistic language, her writings explore the hidden depths of female experience in a patriarchal society.
