Mildred Pierce by James M. Cain

MILDRED PIERCE is the story of a determined and ambitious woman who, after her feckless husband abandons her, builds a successful business through hard work and sacrifice in order 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.

Mildred Pierce Reviews

CATHOLIC HERALD A supreme timeless classic. TELEGRAPH & ARGUS
