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 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 suffering are never less than recognizable.

挣扎了两周终于把它看完了。James Cain写了一个很好的故事,但是并没有很好地把这个故事写出来。长篇大段地对一些无趣琐事的描写,很难吸引我继续读下去。结尾很让我满意,故事也非常深刻,但如果不是作业要求,我也不会坚持看到这个令我满意的结尾。
