This is a Librivox recording of part two (chapters 6 to 10) of THE AWAKENING by Kate Chopin. This audiobook is narrated by Elizabeth Klett.

Summary by Elizabeth Klett: "Kate Chopin's 1899 novella The Awakening is about the personal, sexual, and artistic awakening of a young wife and mother, Edna Pontellier. While on vacation at Grand Isle, an island in the Gulf of Mexico, Edna befriends the talented pianist Mlle. Reisz and the sympathetic Robert Lebrun, both of whom will influence her startling life choices. Chopin's novel created a scandal upon its original publication and effectively destroyed her writing career. Now, however, it is considered one of the finest American novels of the 19th century."
