Awakening

Awakening Book Description

Twenty-seven-year-old Edna Pontellier is a beautiful woman, married to a wealthy man and mother of two children. The time he spares for himself in the holiday resort where he and his family go to spend the summer months, and the relationship he establishes with the sea, opens new horizons for him. Edna, who first focuses on discovering herself as an individual, questions marriage and the roles of womanhood and motherhood determined by society.

Awakening, which deals with the concepts of identity, society, belonging and freedom, and a woman's attainment of spiritual and sexual awareness, is not only an enlightenment, but also an original novel that reveals the uneasiness brought by the repressed female identity.

"Chopin is an unusual, interesting writer... His examination of women's sexual passions, familial and personal relationships is far ahead of his time."

Jean Stafford, The New York Times
