At Fault
Last time I read Chopin was back in high school and I have no intention of stating how long ago that was. I do remember liking her short stories. This book was the first she wrote, couldn't find a publisher so she published it herself. Post reconstruction, Louisianan, Therese finds herself a widow at a young age and in charge of a plantation. She meets Hossmer, a businessman, who will run the mill. A decision will be made that will have lasting and detrimental effect.
Racial tensions, Catholic beliefs as the basis of a moral dilemma, the boredom of a young woman with little to do with her time and the devastating effects of drink as well as the tragedy caused by mother nature. I enjoyed this, the way it was put together, the mix between the different speech patterns and the way the different situations were handled.
