Publisher Description

The Awakening is a haunting exploration of autonomy, desire, and the fragile balance between self-expression and societal expectation. 

An eye-opening summer experience leave Edna Pontellier questioning everything-her dissatisfaction in marriage, her role as a mother, and her very identity. She awakens to the possibility of freedom when she encounters Robert, a man who listens to her, who sees her as a person. Their connection sparks something deep within Edna-a desire to live for herself, to paint, to love, to breathe freely.

But when Robert leaves, Edna is forced to confront a painful truth: even in the pursuit of independence, she is still caged by the expectations of society, the needs of her family, and the haunting echoes of a world that will never let her fully break free.

Join Edna as she rides the waves of feminism and self-discovery in The Awakening.
