Plain Girl
A Life
Arthur Miller

Paperback reissue of the brilliant novella by America's most acclaimed playwright

Janice Sessions, the only daughter of a stylish old-fashioned New York Jew, has never been considered a beauty. She shares her need for love with Sam Fink, a passionate Communist, while the crisis in the outside world escalates into World War Two. But when Sam leaves for war, Janice discovers both the source of her discontent and the courage to escape it. This is a remarkable, beautifully crafted novella by a master of modern literature.
