Description:
Mildred Pierce had gorgeous legs, a way with a
skillet, and a bone-deep core of toughness. She used those attributes to
survive a divorce and poverty and to claw her way out of the lower middle
class. But Mildred also had two weaknesses: a yen for men and an unreasoning
devotion to a monstrous daughter. Out of these elements James M. Cain created a
novel of acute social observation and devastating emotional violence, with a
heroine whose ambitions and suffering are never less than recognizable.
