I needed this book for class. I needed it in a few days. No one could guarantee I would get it on time. I called Books-A-Million. To my surprise I was informed I could get the book in a couple of days. The book came before the date they gave me. I was amazed. This is a good book to read. My classmates and I are really enjoying reading it.

Stories include: (Wiser Than a god, A Point at Issue!, A Shameful Affair, Miss McEnders, At the 'Cadian Ball, Desiree's baby, Madame Celestin's Divorce, A Lady of Bayou St. John, La Belle Zoraide A Respectable Woman, The Story of an Hour, Regret, The Kiss, Athenaise, A Pair of Silk Stockings, The Storm, Charlie). Some of the short stories seem repetitive, but The Awakening is wonderful, especially considering when it was written and how much Chopin went through as a result of publishing this scandalous tale. She tells the story of a woman realizing her sexuality and the feminist ideas she conveys are far ahead of her time.

Arrived promptly, a clean copy. Not read yet.

Not for me.Unfortunately couldn't wait to finish it.
