The Awakening

B1 | Classic

Kate Chopin Retold by Elizabeth Ferretti Illustrated by Isabella Grott

The Awakening is the extraordinary story of a young American woman coming to understand herself and her life.

In 1890s Louisiana, a young woman finds it hard to be the perfect wife to her rich husband and mother to her two small children. In a time when women’s needs were rarely discussed
and their behaviour closely controlled, she wants more. But as she looks for a way out, she finds herself in a world that does not understand her.
