Dawn O'Hara: The Girl Who Laughed (1911) is a novel by Edna Ferber.
Written while the author was recovering from a bout of anemia,
Ferber's debut marked the beginning of an illustrious literary
career. Inspired by her experience as a reporter in the city and
countryside, Dawn O'Hara: The Girl Who Laughed is the story of a
young woman who recognizes the unhappiness in her life and decides
to risk it all for something better. Lighthearted in nature,
Ferber's novel recalls the best of Fitzgerald in its unswerving
commitment to humanity in all its beauty and terror. "'Newspaper
reporting, h'm? In New York? That's a devil of a job for a woman.
And a husband who... Well, you'll have to take a six months' course
in loafing, young woman. And at the end of that time, if you are
still determined to work, can't you pick out something easier-like
taking in scrubbing, for instance?'" As though suffering a mental
breakdown wasn't bad enough, Dawn is forced to listen to the snide
advice of a doctor who seems to know more about her home and
professional life than she does. Determined to maintain her career
as a reporter, she decides to move to a small town and start fresh.
Away from the hustle and bustle of New York City, she hopes to find
success while learning more about herself in the process. With a
beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript,
this edition of Edna Ferber's Dawn O'Hara: The Girl Who Laughed is
a classic work of American literature reimagined for modern
readers.
