'Cain was not just a great hard-boiled novelist but a great
novelist, period ... To read MILDRED PIERCE now is to experience a
double vision, in which we confront both how much and how little
things have changed' LA TIMES 'Vivid, gritty, real...this is crime
writing at its very best' MY WEEKLY Mildred Pierce is the story of
a determined and ambitious woman who, after her feckless husband
abandons her, by hard work and sacrifice builds a successful
business to ensure the future of her pampered and selfish daughter.
But she isn't prepared for the intrigues and devastating betrayals
of those closest to her. This is James M. Cain's most substantial
novel and a classic of the Depression years.
