Description
Jenny (1911) is a novel by Norwegian writer Sigrid Undset. Published during the author's social realist phase, a period in which her writing focused on the lives of everyday Norwegians, Jenny is a moving portrait of idealism and ambition and a tragic tale of talent gone to seed. Although Undset's later fiction-inspired by her conversion to Catholicism-won her the 1928 Nobel Prize in Literature, her earlier work has remained essential to her legacy.
