Sister Carrie

Carrie Meeber’s journey from a small-town girl to a sophisticated woman in bustling Chicago is nothing short of mesmerizing. “Sister Carrie” by Theodore Dreiser captures the raw essence of ambition, desire, and the relentless pursuit of dreams. I found myself deeply engrossed in Carrie’s transformation and the stark realities she faces. Dreiser’s vivid portrayal of urban life and the complexities of human nature left me reflecting long after I turned the last page.
