O knihe

Shocking and scandalous in its day, this novel of a young woman's artistic and sexual awakening is now revered as a captivating and sensual feminist classic. Edna has it all, a loving husband, two adoring little boys, summers at the beach with friends, a life of luxury - but something is missing. She's not content like the "mother-women" around her. Her husband and friends think she is behaving strangely and becoming unbalanced as she begins to push against her restraints. Will she find the freedom she seeks or be swept away on her journey of self-discovery?
