[Spoiler Alert!] Jenny is a hard to get, often just plain misunderstood novel.

Because JENNY is horribly dark and depressing. The setting is Rome, around 1905-1910, and Jenny Winge is a beautiful, blonde, twenty-something painter.

Later, Sigrid Undset would become a peer of Dostoevsky -- see Mitzi Brunsdale's comments on Undset's magnificent quartet, The Master of Hestviken, in her 1988 study. But Undset's early novel Jenny shows the Norwegian Nobel Prize winner as the peer of Turgenev.
