Three Lives

Set in Bridgepoint, the story revolves around three distinct women: Anna, a housekeeper striving to overcome her traumatic past while caring for her dogs; Melanctha, a kind-hearted mixed-race woman whose trust in others is often misplaced; and Lena, a German immigrant trapped in an unhappy marriage. This collection of novellas by Gertrude Stein explores themes of identity, resilience, and the complexities of women's lives in a changing society.
