Description
A painter in Rome, Jenny Winge has carved out a fiercely independent life—one built on work, honesty, and the belief that art must answer to no one. When love arrives in the form of Helge Gram, and later deepens through his father, Gert, Jenny is forced to confront how desire, loyalty, and responsibility can collide with the standards she sets for herself. Sigrid Undset’s breakthrough novel is at once an artist’s story and an unsentimental examination of sexuality and the moral weight of choice, asking what it costs to remain true to one’s ideals. With Undset’s clear-eyed, psychologically exacting style, *Jenny* turns intimate relationships into a rigorous test of freedom—especially for a woman who refuses to treat her vocation as negotiable.
