Jennie Gerhardt

Jenny Gerhardt is an innocent, dreamy girl who takes a job at a hotel to help her needy family. A streak of harsh trials and deprivation, it seemed, ends with the arrival of Lester—the heir of a large industrial company. However, the Kane family isn’t ready to accept a union with a girl from outside their circle, and then Jenny faces a difficult choice: to give up her own happiness or go against high society…

A story about nobility, resilience under the cruel blows of fate, and the all-conquering power of love—once called by critics “the best American novel anyone has ever read.”
