Book Description:
|
InRuth Hall, one of the bestselling novels of the 1850s, Fanny Fern drew heavily on her own experiences- the death of her first child and her beloved husband, a bitter estrangement from her family, and her struggle to make a living as a writer. Written as a series of short vignettes and snatches of overheard conversations, it is as unconventional in style as in substance and strikingly modern in its impact.
