About this book
This collection gathers the vivid, warm-hearted short stories of Fannie Hurst, one of the most popular writers of her era, whose tales of shopgirls, immigrants, and ordinary strivers in the crowded life of New York blend sentiment with sharp social observation. Hurst gave voice to working women and the poor with sympathy and emotional power, filling her stories with longing, resilience, and the small dramas of everyday life. Rich in period detail and feeling, they capture the texture of early twentieth-century urban America. A moving sampling of the fiction that made Hurst a beloved chronicler of the hopes and hardships of the common people.
