At Fault

De: Kate Chopin

Narrado por: Helena Mitchell

Widowed at thirty, beautiful, resourceful Therese Lafirme is left alone to run her Louisiana plantation. When Therese 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 troubled former wife, Fanny. At Fault is set in the Post-Reconstruction rural South against a backdrop of economic devastation and simmering racial tensions. Written at the beginning of her career, it has parallels to Chopin's own life and contains characters and themes that prefigure her later works, including The Awakening.

not my favorite Chopin

I’m glad i “read” this, as i teach a lot of Chopin in my literature class, but i must say this has nothing on The Awakening or her shorts like A Respectable Woman or Desiree’s Baby. The narrator sounds like she’s reading it for the first time, and her accent work was not accurate at all.
