At Fault

(Buy Direct) Although At Fault is not as famous as The Awakening and other short stories by Kate Chopin, the novel offers essential insight into her development as a writer. Set on a Louisiana plantation, Chopin also further develops her local-color writing. Here, she looks at human nature as it relates to divorce, relationships, love, and other mad pursuits. The novel centers around David Hosman and his relationships with two women: his ex-wife and his new-found love.
