Although the book was originally published in 1899, its leading character, Edna Pontellier, could be mistaken for a modern-day liberated woman. In the summer of her twenty-eighth year, as she watched numerous mothers on a beach, she vowed to honor the deep yearnings within her that she sensed were unfulfilled by marriage and motherhood.

Didn't grab my attention,
By
This review is from: The Awakening (Audio CD)
I have been going through many of the classics on my commute to work by listening to audio books. I have thoroughly enjoyed most, but this one did not capture my interest.
The story itself was well written and did a good job exploring a character with problems. That is common in literature, but I couldn't connect with most of the characters in the book. I was glad it was short or I may not have finished it. I have a tendency to like books that I learn principles from or at least learn to relate to peoples weaknesses and I came away with having neither happen to me. The reader did a good job and she differentiated between the characters well. It could tell who was talking just by how she read. That is something that is important to me in an audio book.
