Kind of a marvel for the time it was written in. I wish it could have ended differently, but I understand why it didn't.

This book left me SHOOK. Without giving away anything, there were certain plot points that I was not expecting. Edith was beautifully tragic and I feel the book reflected very well what women of that time period must have felt.

Chopin here crafts a beautiful story--a woman who defies societal conventions that are rooted in sexism in order to embrace what truly makes her happy. And for the most part, the beautifully described inner turmoil the protagonist faces is affecting. However pacing is an issue in this book--Edna frets and fritters in multiple locations, and revelations are repeated, which made me bored.
