I just read The Awakening by Kate Chopin. I thought I remembered someone saying that they really liked this book awhile ago, but now I can't remember who said that. This book was really short, so I thought it would be a quick read, but it wasn't. If I had to sum the book up in one word it would be, "boring".
This book was written back in 1899 or something, so it is worded like a classic. It is supposed to be about a woman having an affair during a time when no one wrote about this. The main character, Edna, decides that she isn't happy in her life as a wife and mother. I wouldn't say this is so much about an affair, as I don't know for sure that there really was one. It was more about her wanting freedom.
I was really bored in parts and think I missed important details, but I didn't feel like going back to re-read any of it.
