Summary
"She was horrified, stunned, like a bird in the grasp of a cat, but somehow through it all was something terrific, inviting, urging, was speaking to her. He released her from his grasp. 'We won't do any more of this here, but you belong to me'." "Jennie Gerhardt" was Theodore Dreiser's second novel and his first commercial success. It is regarded as one of his three best novels, along with "Sister Carrie" and "An American Tragedy," This edition presents the text as it was originally written, restoring the novel to its complete form.
