The Awakening is the story of a young woman, wife and mother, living in New Orleans in the late 1800s. At one point, she decides she’s not going to do anything except whatever she wants to do. Fortunately for her, she has the financial means to do so and her husband takes off on business and his mom takes the kids. How nice to be so unencumbered!

The story of Edna Pontellier awakening and deciding she wants to be more than a wife and mother. Edna is spending the summer with her family in Grand Isle, Louisiana and as the summer progresses and she becomes infatuated with a resident there, Edna becomes dissatisfied in her marriage. I can see why at the time it was published this story was shocking. I found the story kind of dragged, even though it was short, and that not much really happened.
