&apos;Introducing this release of The Awakening has given me an opportunity to re-experience one of my life&apos;s important books . . . I still marvel at Chopin&apos;s realism, her impatience with conventional trappings, her arresting honesty&apos; BARBARA KINGSOLVER <br/> &apos;Incisive, brilliant and haunting&apos; MAGGIE O&apos;FARRELL <br/> Over one long, languid summer Edna Pontellier, fettered by marriage and motherhood, becomes acquainted with Robert Lebrun. As the days shorten and the temperature drops Edna succumbs to Robert&apos;s devotion. But as her desire grows so too does her discontentment – with the role society has forced her to play and with the bonds that hold her fast – and her world begins to unravel with devastating consequences… <br/> The Awakening is widely regarded as one of the forerunners of feminist literature alongside Tolstoy&apos;s Anna Karenina and Flaubert&apos;s Madame Bovary. First published in the United States in 1899, this radical novel sent shockwaves through American society and continues to speak to readers over a hundred years later. This tender, brilliant, and seductive novel is as beautifully written as it is politically engaging.
