Before she wrote The Awakening — a powerful novel that has illuminated generations of readers with its strikingly honest and controversial themes of female sexuality and miscegenation--Kate Chopin penned many well-received short stories of Creole and Acadian life. Infused with &quote;local color,&quote; these tales are filled with fascinating characters, idiosyncratic customs, and sometimes shocking details.Reflecting the influences of the French writers Guy de Maupassant and George Sand, &quote;Lilacs&quote; is a heartfelt and simple tale of love, life, and devotion. The compelling work is accompanied by 23 other distinctive tales of southern life, among them &quote;A No-Account Creole&quote; and &quote;Love on the Bon-Dieu,&quote; from Bayou Folk, and &quote;A Matter of Prejudice,&quote; &quote;The Lilies,&quote; and &quote;Dead Men's Shoes&quote; from A Night in Acadie.
