The Book Alphabet Game, Again

The Awakening Kate Chopin a book from 1899 about (wait for it) a cheating wife. From Goodreads, "The Awakening shocked readers with its honest treatment of female marital infidelity. Audiences accustomed to the pieties of late Victorian romantic fiction were taken aback by Chopin's daring portrayal of a woman trapped in a stifling marriage, who seeks and finds passionate physical love outside the confines of her domestic situation."
