Synopsis "At Fault"

The story of this novel takes place in Louisiana in the 1800s. Therese Lafirme is a young widow who is doing an able job running a plantation. David Hosmer, who runs the sawmill, falls in love with her, and she begins to return his affection. But Therese is also a devout Catholic, and when she finds that David has been divorced, she persuades him that the right thing to do is to retry to have a life with his ex-wife. David follows this advice, remarries Fanny (who is an alcoholic) and brings her back to live with him on the plantation. The novel explores the consequences of a loveless union, and Therese's own doubts about her former ironclad beliefs.

Kate Chopin (1850-1904) forma parte del reducido grupo de escritoras que empezaron a dar voz propia a la mujer en la literatura moderna y cuya valía a menudo se ha visto oscurecida por la censura o el escándalo. Completan el volumen importantes relatos («En el baile acadiano», «Una mujer respetable», «Fedora», «El niño de Désirée», «La historia de una hora», «Lilas», «Athénaïse», «Un par de medias de seda», «La tormenta») que ofrecen una panorámica completa de las preocupaciones y el mundo de la autora.
