From the Nobel Prize winning author of Norway's beloved Kristin Lavransdatter trilogy, Jenny is a classic romance novel that chronicles the haunting story of a young, aspiring painter as she makes her way through life.
Jenny Winge is a talented young Norwegian woman who dreams of professionalising her passion for painting. After moving to Rome to pursue her artistic goals, Jenny's newfound freedom and friends, quickly slip from her grasp as she falls in love with a questionable character. In her desperation to experience a real connection, she betrays her own aspirations of becoming a professional artist. Will her newfound romance bring her the happiness that she desperately seeks?
First published in 1911, Jenny is a heartbreakingly realistic novel. Exploring themes of love, ambition and morals, Segrid Undset's literary breakthrough continues to be as compelling and reflective of modern life as it was in the early 20th century.
Read & Co. Books has republished Jenny in a beautiful new edition, which features an excerpt from Six Scandinavian Novelists by Alrik Gustafrom. This volume would be the perfect gift for fans of the Kristin Lavransdatter trilogy and collectors of Sigrid Undset's work.
