Mildred Pierce had gorgeous legs, a way with a skillet, and a bone-deep core of toughness. She used those attributes to survive a divorce and poverty and to claw her way out of the lower middle class. But Mildred also had two weaknesses: a yen for shiftless men, and an unreasoning devotion to a monstrous daughter. Out of these elements, James M. Cain created a novel of acute social observation and devastating emotional violence, with a heroine whose ambitions and sufferings are never less than recognizable.

Industry Reviews

"Nobody has quite pulled it off the way Cain does, not Hemmingway, and not even Raymond Chandler." --Tom Wolfe

"Cain can get down to the primary impulses of greed and sex in fewer words than any writer we know of." --"The New York Times"
