Three reviews for Sigrid Undset's novel, Jenny. Review 1: "I read the last few chapters of this book with my jaw on the floor. This is a novel that needs to be studied in lit classes, right alongside “The Awakening” by Kate Chopin. There’s so much to think about. “Jenny” is about a Norwegian painter living in Rome, and it’s a really vivid psychological picture of her inner unraveling. It’s beautifully written and is concerned with themes about love, ambition, womanhood, and virtue." Four Stars. Review 2: "How dare this book tear me apart like it did" Five Stars Review 3: "Interesting first novel for one of my favorite authors. Takes dramatic, unexpected turns and character of Jenny blossoms, withers and ... won't spoil the ending." Five Stars.
