More about the book
Chopin's novel explores themes of sensuality, ecstatic love, and the loneliness inherent in middle- and upper-class life, challenging societal norms of its time. The story follows a woman's desire for an affair with a young man she meets while on vacation, presenting her journey without condemnation. The frank treatment of subjects like sex and suicide was groundbreaking for early 20th-century readers. Kaye Gibbons highlights that Chopin was a pioneer of American realism, addressing uncomfortable truths about life before many were ready to confront them.
