by Kate Chopin
This is an old favorite of mine that I’ve read over and over.
This time around… I guess what strikes me more than usual is the character Madamesoille Reisz. Maybe because she’s old and I’m old. “She was a disagreeable little woman, no longer young, who had quarreled with almost everyone, owing to a temper which was self-assertive and a disposition to trample upon the rights of everyone.” Disagreeable. But she’s an important character and her independent life is still an example for Edna.
