A young wife summers on Grand Isle, learns to swim, and begins to want a life that Louisiana in 1899 has no room for. Chopin was widowed at thirty-two with six children and wrote to feed them; reviewers called this book morbid and vulgar, it was quietly dropped from the shelves, and she published almost nothing more. It waited fifty years to be read properly.
