AAAaaaa I just finished Kate Chopin's "The Awakening" this morning. I read the whole thing as I ate my breakfast and nursed a headache.
I have read most of her short stories but somehow neglected The Awakening. I guess, as a young woman, I loved it for the many chords it struck with me. Not that I'm planning on having any affairs, or anything. But really, I love Chopin.
