false <![CDATA[Jenny]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1165555559m/6222.jpg 6222 11 When <i>Jenny</i> was published in 1911, Undset found herself called immoral &#8212; &#8220;this is a side of the free, artistic life that the vast majority of citizens would rather not know.&#8221; The novel tells the story of Jenny Winge, a talented Norwegian painter who goes to Rome to seek artistic inspiration but ultimately betrays her own ambitions and ideals. 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&#8217;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.<br><br>This new translation by Tiina Nunnally captures the fresh, vivid style of Undset&#8217;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. <br><br>&#8220;[Undset] was an uncommonly fine writer of fiction.&#8221;-- The New York Times Book Review<br><br>&#8220;<i>Jenny</i> is a stunningly atmospheric yet frank and searching drama about a young woman painter struggling to reconcile her need to make art with her longing for and fear of love. This brooding book can stand with the best of the moderns.&#8221;-- Booklist 9531 1911 Jenny total:46|5:7|4:21|3:10|2:5|1:3| 46 162 73 9 6222 158642050X 9781586420505 45 9 Jenny 3.52 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1165555559m/6222.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6222.Jenny 5 0 false Fri Feb 13 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 03 11:35:42 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 18 09:39:02 -0800 2009 more...]]> 6222 158642050X 9781586420505 45 9 Jenny 3.52 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1165555559m/6222.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6222.Jenny 1 0 false Sat Apr 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Sun Apr 05 23:10:00 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 05 23:11:42 -0700 2009 6222 158642050X 9781586420505 45 9 Jenny 3.52 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1165555559m/6222.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6222.Jenny 5 0 false Tue May 05 21:00:59 -0700 2009 Mon May 04 18:56:53 -0700 2009 Tue May 05 21:00:59 -0700 2009 1 6222 158642050X 9781586420505 45 9 Jenny 3.52 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1165555559m/6222.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6222.Jenny 4 0 false Wed Jul 15 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 17 12:33:37 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 15 11:04:03 -0700 2009 6222 158642050X 9781586420505 45 9 Jenny 3.52 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1165555559m/6222.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6222.Jenny 2 0 false Fri Mar 27 02:48:15 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 15 23:57:58 -0700 2009 6222 158642050X 9781586420505 45 9 Jenny 3.52 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1165555559m/6222.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6222.Jenny 4 0 false Sat Jun 07 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Jun 01 21:21:45 -0700 2008 Sat Jun 07 10:57:20 -0700 2008 Her medieval historical series are the best.
