Set in New Orleans, the novel weaves a rich tapestry of southern life and culture through the lens of a woman who feels trapped in a cage of wealth and social norms. This book is a must listen for anyone interested in early feminist literature, themes of love, social class and psychology, or living in New Orleans,

This performance of Kate Chopin's classic is of the utmost caliber and quality Through noise-gate and dynamic shaping technology, we are proud to present you with the best available auditory rendition of The Awakening.

How tedious

There is nothing to recommend about this book and nothing memorable about the story or likeable about the characters
