I had to read the book for my American literature class at university. I was not expecting much since the genre of the novel is not something I usually read but I found myself quite enjoying it mainly because I found the central problem of the book relatable. The Awakening was for me a story about the universal female experience and while, of course, this could mean different things to everyone, the perspective the novel provides is interesting to see.
