Awakening

A rare novel written in the late Victorian era featuring a young woman who flings aside the norms of society and rejects her role as wife and mother. With interracial marriage and passages of overt sexuality, it caused an outcry on publication in 1899. Today it is seen as a portent of the future and admired for its direct and naturalistic style.

Un roman rar scris la sfarsitul epocii victoriane, care prezinta o tanara care arunca deoparte normele societatii si respinge rolul ei de sotie si mama. Cu casatoria interrasiala si pasaje de sexualitate fatisa, a provocat un strigat la publicare in 1899.
