Book from high school english

  • I apologize for this being vague, but I hope that it will strike a cord with someone and I?ve been surprised by the results others have received, so here goes. During high school in the ?90s I had a conversation with a friend who described a passage from a book she was reading, probably for AP English. I got the impression that it was a period piece but I?m not sure if it was a ?classic? or more contemporary novel. The passage described one of the characters in the novel as hedonistic, I?ll paraphrase to the best of my recollection: the character was so hedonistic that if she where to catch her hair on a branch passing under a tree she would back up and do it again for the feeling. The word hedonistic may not appear in the passage, and I know it?s not much to go on, but what was that book?


  • That book is available via Project Gutenberg, so I ran through it reading passages relevant to obvious search words (hair, branch, tree), but nothing seemed to be it. This may yet be the novel in question and my memory of our discussion could be warped from time, but for now I hope for a better match. Thanks though.


  • I went to high school in the 90's and took AP english. We read a book called The Awakening by Kate Chopin. That passage sounds like something that may have come from that book. Is this the book you were looking for?
