Jenny is a newly qualified vet who having been a bit of a party girl at Cambridge has not achieved the academic results her professor would have wished. He is reluctant to pass her on her resit results. Jenny is offered a way into the profession by agreeing to go to work in Kenya, where they are desperate for field veterinarians. Jenny has always loved adventures and so going to Africa really appeals to her. She finds herself totally on her own in Mombasa on Christmas Eve. Men, particularly older men, find her very attractive. On the whole they go out of their way to help her. However, she finds herself in a very challenging situation and has no one available to guide her. Her courage does not desert her and she copes admirably. She meets a pilot called Matt and they become very close friends, but sadly their relationship is going to be very short. Jenny is left alone and has to rely on her fortitude to get her out of a very dark place.
Trapped in a small Arizona town by her abusive father and tormented by her relatives, young pregnant Jenny is slowly boxed into a life not of her own choosing.

Jenny (1911) is a novel by Norwegian writer Sigrid Undset. Published during the author’s social realist phase, a period in which her writing focused on the lives of everyday Norwegians, Jenny is a moving portrait of idealism and ambition and a tragic tale of talent gone to seed. Although Undset’s later fiction—inspired by her conversion to Catholicism—won her the 1928 Nobel Prize in Literature, her earlier work has remained essential to her legacy. Finding herself uninspired in her native Norway, Jenny Winge, an idealistic and talented painter, moves to Rome in order to further her artistic career. There, she finds not only success, but a fiancé with whom she envisions sharing a life and family. Moved by hidden desires, however, Jenny strikes up an affair with the man’s father that leaves her pregnant, disgraced, and alone. Determined as ever despite being shaken from her path as an artist, Jenny determines to raise the child by herself, forsaking convention while simultaneously risking her life and the life of her baby. From artistic achievement to mere independence, Jenny is forced to drastically shift her ambitions, to remain unbroken in a world that seems intent on breaking every hope she holds. Jenny is a realist novel that takes an unsparing look at the role of women in society while illuminating the struggles a young artist faces on the path to success and independence. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Sigrid Undset’s Jenny is a classic of Norwegian literature reimagined for modern readers.

When Jenny was published in 1911, Undset found herself called immoral -- "this is a side of the free, artistic life that the vast majority of citizens would rather not know." The novel tells the story of Jenny Winge, a talented Norwegian painter who goes to Rome to seek artistic inspiration but ultimately betrays her own ambitions and ideals. After falling into an affair with the married father of a would-be suitor, Jenny has a baby out-of- wedlock and decides to raise the child on her own. Undset' s portrayal of a woman struggling toward independence and fulfillment is written with an unflinching, clear-eyed honesty that renders her story as compelling today as it was nearly a century ago. This new translation by Tiina Nunnally captures the fresh, vivid style of Undset's writing and restores passages omitted from the only previous edition to appear in English, which was published in 1921. Most famous for her later, historical fiction set in Catholic, medieval Scandinavia, Undset stands revealed with Jenny, her first major novel, as an unsparing, compassionate, magnificent realist, the creator of works that are at once thoroughly modern and of enduring interest.
