But a century after her death, it is widely regarded as Kate Chopin's great achievement. Through careful, subtle changes of style, Chopin shows the transformation of Edna Pontellier, a young wife and mother, who - with tragic consequences - refuses to be caged by married and domestic life, and claims for herself moral and erotic freedom.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eThe Penguin English Library - collectable general readers' editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century to the end of the Second World War.\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Unity Books","offers":[{"title":"Awakening","offer_id":46627350184133,"sku":null,"price":21.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/6679\/3413\/files\/978-0-241-34142-1.jpg?v=1785280672","url":"https:\/\/unitybooks.myshopify.com\/products\/awakening","provider":"Unity Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
