Synopsis

The voice of the sea is seductive; never ceasing, whispering, clamoring, murmuring, inviting the soul to wander for a spell in abysses of solitude.

Edna Pontellier, mother of two and devoted wife, and her family set out for a family vacation in Grand Isle. There, Edna meets a man named Robert Lebrun, and the two fall in love. But their love is short-lived as Robert hastily leaves Edna. After the vacation, Edana goes back home to New Orleans, Louisiana, and discovers she longs for her own independence and begins to focus on her happiness at the expense of her maternal duties.

Solitude, social constructs and attitudes, and gender roles were all controversial themes at the turn of the 19th century. The Awakening explores many of these prevailing social attitudes in depth.

Included are eight other short stories written by Chopin.
