Über diesen Titel
Set in the Great Depression, this narrative follows Mildred Pierce, a resilient mother who navigates a difficult separation from her husband, Bert, while striving for financial independence in Glendale, California. Starting as a waitress, Mildred eventually builds a successful restaurant empire, driven by an intense, obsessive desire to provide for her social-climbing and ungrateful daughter, Veda. The story explores the complexities of class ambition and familial betrayal, particularly as Mildred enters a volatile relationship with the aristocratic but penniless Monty Beragon. Despite her professional triumphs, Mildred’s world is shattered by the death of her younger daughter and Veda’s calculated cruelty. Ultimately, the text illustrates a tragic cycle of motherly sacrifice and the harsh realities of the American Dream. Through shifting fortunes and personal scandals, Mildred is forced to confront the toxic nature of her devotion to a daughter who consistently exploits her.
