At Fault masterfully portrays a complex love triangle amid the tensions of the rural post-Reconstruction South. Thérèse Lafirme is a young Creole widow in love with a divorced St. Louis businessman, David Hosmer. The moral and religious constraints thrust upon Thérèse prevent her acceptance of Hosmer's wedding proposal, setting the two on a treacherous path that involves Hosmer's former wife, Fanny.
Originally published in 1890, the novel is marked by the same fearless examination of society and sexuality that distinguish Chopin's later works.
This meticulous edition from Heritage Illustrated Publishing is a faithful reproduction of the original text enhanced with images of classic works of art.
