内容简介 在线阅读本书
Thérèse Lafirme, a beautiful and resourceful Creole woman, is widowed at age thirty-two and left alone to run her Louisiana plantation. When Thérèse falls in love with David Hosmer, a divorced businessman, her strong moral and religious convictions make it impossible for her to accept his marriage proposal. Her determined rejection sets the two on a tumultuous path that involves Hosmer's former wife, Fanny.
At Fault is both romantic and filled with stark realism-a love story that expands to address the complex problem of balancing personal happiness and social duty-set in the post-Reconstruction South against a backdrop of economic devastation and simmering racial tensions. Written at the beginning of her career,
At Fault parallels Chopin's own life and introduces characters and themes that appear in her later works, including
The Awakening.
作者简介 Kate Chopin (1850-1904) was born in St. Louis and moved to Louisiana as an adult where she wrote two novels and numerous stories. Because
The Awakening was widely condemned, publication of Chopin's third story collection was cancelled.
The Awakening was rediscovered by scholars in the 1960s and 1970s and is her best-known work.
