A review by abbeyhar103
Mildred Pierce by James M. Cain

5.0

Very different than I thought it would be, but still very Cain. Ive read both "the postman always rings twice" and "double indemnity" and this had the same no hold barred exploration into the seediness of human behavior, but without a murder. It was hard to put down as I rooted for Mildred pierce's success as a single woman during the depression, but was also very aware of the inevitable fall.
