But a century after her death, it is widely regarded as Kate Chopin's great achievement. Through careful, subtle changes of style, Chopin shows the transformation of Edna Pontellier, a young wife and mother, who - with tragic consequences - refuses to be caged by married and domestic life, and claims for herself moral and erotic freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Penguin English Library - collectable general readers' editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century to the end of the Second World War.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kate Chopin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56153873121605,"sku":"9780241341421","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/3721\/6069\/files\/9780241341421.jpg?v=1762272989","url":"https:\/\/stripyduckbookshopcafe.co.uk\/products\/9780241341421","provider":"The Stripy Duck Bookshop Café","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
