[Spoilers for this and Désirée's Baby !]
I'm not sure if this story would have roped me in as much as it did if I hadn't read it after Désirée's Baby. With these two making up all the Kate Chopin I've read, I was expecting this one to also end in tragedy. It didn't. Quality non depressing short story.

There were French lines here and there so I found it was best to read it in front of my PC so I can translate it with Google's help right away. :D
I'm sorry, but... what was this? Like, maybe I'm just missing the point but I don't understand why Athénaise suddenly realised she loves her husband after all? I didn't feel like there was a real build-up there. And I had to read a summary to even figure out she was pregnant because I missed that one sentence in the original.
Eh, anyway. I guess I'll find out in class maybe.
