At Fault

Therese Lafirm, a young widow living in the post-Reconstruction South, is proposed to by David Hosmer, a divorced man. Her acceptance or rejection may have dire consequences when Fanny, Hosmer's ex-wife, comes into the picture. Chopin's themes of the liberated woman and her relationships caused an uproar in her time, but they set the stage for future examinations of women's role in society. AVAILABLE ON CASSETTE ONLY.
