The Awakening, and Selected Short Stories by Kate Chopin, hand-bound in genuine leather by LeatheredLines. Kate Chopin's 1899 novel follows Edna Pontellier, a wife and mother summering on Grand Isle off Louisiana, as she awakens to her own desires and independence. Condemned by critics in its day, it is now recognised as a landmark of American literature. This edition pairs it with a selection of Chopin's short stories of Creole and Cajun life.
About this leather-bound edition
Our binders work each cover by hand: genuine leather is fitted over firm boards, the spine is lettered in gold-tone foil and finished with traditional decorative detail. Every copy carries the small natural variations that come with real leather and handcraft.
The thickness and weight of the finished book depend on the length of this particular title. Longer works make a noticeably thicker volume, while shorter works are slimmer.
