Read this in one sitting and loved the bleak humour of The Awakening. I also really enjoyed Desiree’s Baby and Story of One Hour in the short story collection. Chopin’s Louisiana roots are particularly interesting as a setting for her stories.

I really enjoyed reading this classic. Kate Chopin was ahead of her time in her telling of a woman who begins to follow her own whims in a time that made it difficult to do so. I found myself sighing, giggling, outraged, and everything in between while meeting the characters in this world and seeing how they interact and think. This is a classic I wish I read in high school, though I know I would not have gotten out of it all that I have reading it as an adult. Will likely read the short stories at the back of this book as well.
