'Jenny' Summary
Jenny Winge, a young Norwegian artist living in Rome, is drawn to the city's artistic and bohemian circles. She yearns for a passionate and enduring love, but her pursuit often leads her into emotionally precarious relationships. Caught between her desire for an ideal love and her need for independence, Jenny grapples with the complexities of romantic entanglement and the societal expectations placed upon her. Through these experiences, she confronts the inherent struggle between individual freedom and the constraints of social conformity, questioning the very nature of love, freedom, and the meaning of life. Undset's novel delves into Jenny's inner world, showcasing her emotional turmoil and her determination to forge her own path in a society that often tries to confine her.Book Details
