For those of you couldn't make it last night... we took a photo... check out my rockin' "I heart books" tat - courtesy of Ali.
Anyway, this months book is by Kate Chopin The Awakening. Never recognized while she was alive, this novel has become a literary masterpiece. It's very short since we only have 3 weeks before the shin-dig at my abode Friday September 12th. I purchased all five books that were at Barnes and Noble and gave them out at the meeting. Malin already has it so I have an extra. If you regularly go to B and N - call and see if they have restocked. The woman working the desk said she would. It is only 155 pages and there are several selected short stories included that are also supposed to be great.
Big Book Fun!

The Awakening – Kate Chopin First published in 1899, this controversial novel of a New Orleans wife's search for love outside a stifling marriage shocked readers. Today, it remains a first-rate narrative with superb characterization. An American classic of sexual expression that paved the way for the modern novel, The Awakening is both a remarkable novel in its own right and a startling reminder of how far women in this century have come. The story of a married woman who pursues love outside a stuffy, middle-class marriage, the novel portrays the mind of a woman seeking fulfillment of her essential nature.
