Official synopsis Publisher
Theodore Dreiser’s first and perhaps most accessible novel, Sister Carrie is an epic of urban life – the story of an innocent heroine adrift in an indifferent city. When small-town girl Carrie Meeber sets out for Chicago, she is equipped with nothing but a few dollars, a certain unspoiled beauty and charm, and a pitiful lack of preparation for the complex moral choices she will face.
