Chopin's 1899 novella The Awakening is about the personal, sexual, and
artistic awakening of a young wife and mother, Edna Pontellier. While on
vacation at Grand Isle, an island in the Gulf of Mexico, Edna befriends
the talented pianist Mlle. Reisz and the sympathetic Robert Lebrun,
both of whom will influence her startling life choices. Chopin's novel
created a scandal upon its original publication and effectively
destroyed her writing career. Now, however, it is considered one of the
finest American novels of the 19th century.
