Summary

Désirée and Armand’s marriage was passionate and loving. But everything changes when their baby is born, who appears to be of mixed race.

Set before the Civil War in Louisiana, and originally published on January 14, 1893, Kate Chopin shines a light on the antebellum culture, which rendered some of the most vulnerable absolutely powerless.
