Editorial Review of At Fault (Thrift Edition)
An intrepid explorer of taboos, Chopin wrote some of America's boldest and best 19th-century fiction. Divorce and alcoholism are among the daring subjects of her first novel, set in the rural post-Reconstruction South against a backdrop of economic devastation and simmering racial tension.

Review Summary: Try this one...
Review: If you've read The Awakening and could appreciate the ideas and writing, but were not as impressed with it as others tend to be, try At Fault. It's compact story that I wished was developed further because of its originality and intrigue. Don't take Kate Chopin off your list after The Awakening--try this one!

Review Summary: Charming tale
Review: A lovely, remarkable, resourceful widow running a plantation in Louisiana; her handsome, country-simple, honest, deep-feeling Creole nephew; a divorced businessman who builds a mill on her property; the mill-manager's self-possessed younger sister; his depressed, alcoholic wife, who comes to live with him; an engaging supporting cast of Negro servants and local townspeople; two problematic one-sided love affairs; the murder of an evil young man; the murder of one of the main characters; a disastrous reconciliation; a devastating storm ... These are some of the ingredients of this charming Southern novel which defies easy categorization. In the end, what shines through all the twists and turns of the plot is the inherent, admirable goodness of the two main characters.
