After falling into an affair with the married father of a would-be suitor,  Jenny has a baby out-of- wedlock and decides to raise the child on her own. Undset’ s portrayal of a woman struggling toward independence and fulfillment is written  with an unflinching, clear-eyed honesty that renders her story as compelling today  as it was nearly a century ago.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This new translation by Tiina Nunnally captures  the fresh, vivid style of Undset’s writing and restores passages omitted from the  only previous edition to appear in English, which was published in 1921. Most famous  for her later, historical fiction set in Catholic, medieval Scandinavia, Undset stands  revealed with Jenny, her first major novel, as an unsparing, compassionate, magnificent  realist, the creator of works that are at once thoroughly modern and of enduring  interest.","brand":"Steerforth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44218945962239,"sku":"9781586420505","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781586420505_s600x595.jpg?v=1782152271","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781586420505","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
