This novel so disturbed critics and the public that it was banished for decades after its first publishing. It is set in New Orleans and the Louisiana coast at the end of the nineteenth century and centers around Edna Pontellier and her struggle to reconcile her unorthodox views on femininity and motherhood with the prevailing social attitudes of the South at the time. A sensuous book that tells of a woman's abandonment of her family, her seduction, and her awakening to desires and passions that threaten to consume her.

Um trabalho extremamente feminino, da melhor maneira possível. Cativante, intrigante, emotivo, excelente. Curto mas ainda assim extremamente completo. Vale muito a leitura
