Beskrivelse af Half Portions
Half Portions is a novel written by Edna Ferber, published in 1920. The story is set in the fictional town of Midland City, where the wealthy and the working class live in separate parts of the city. The novel follows the lives of the two main characters, Emma McChesney and her son, Jock. Emma is a successful businesswoman who travels around the country selling petticoats for the T.A. Buck Featherloom Petticoat Company. Jock, on the other hand, is a young man who has just returned from World War I and is struggling to find his place in the world.As the story unfolds, Emma and Jock navigate their way through the challenges of their respective worlds. Emma faces sexism and discrimination as a woman in business, while Jock grapples with PTSD and the pressures of conforming to societal expectations. Along the way, they both learn valuable lessons about love, loyalty, and the importance of following one's own path in life.Ferber's writing style is witty and engaging, and she skillfully weaves together themes of class, gender, and identity to create a compelling and thought-provoking story. Half Portions is a timeless classic that continues to resonate with readers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
