Set in New Orleans and the Gulf Coast at the end of the nineteenth century The Awakening centers on Edna Pontellier an apparently happy twenty-eight-year-old wife and mother of two. But when a summer romance reignites Edna's appetite for life she discovers that her conventional family friends and surroundings do not make her happy. Boldly--and to the astonishment of her husband and the consternation of New Orleans society--Edna begins to discover the joys of solitude creative expression and erotic freedom. A scandal and a shock to readers when it was first published in 1899 The Awakening remains a daring portrayal of a woman rejecting domesticity in favor of her own happiness and self-expression. This edition includes some of Chopin's most studied short stories including "Désirée's Baby " "A Pair of Silk Stockings " and "The Story of an Hour."
