Dawn O'Hara: The Girl Who Laughed (1911) is a novel by Edna Ferber. Written while the author was recovering from a bout of anemia, Ferber's debut marked the beginning of an illustrious literary career. Inspired by her experience as a reporter in the city and countryside, Dawn O'Hara: The Girl Who Laughed is the story of a young woman who recognizes the unhappiness in her life and decides to risk it all for something better. Lighthearted in nature, Ferber's novel recalls the best of Fitzgerald in its unswerving commitment to humanity in all its beauty and terror. "e;'Newspaper reporting, h'm? In New York? That's a devil of a job for a woman. And a husband who... Well, you'll have to take a six months' course in loafing, young woman. And at the end of that time, if you are still determined to work, can't you pick out something easier-like taking in scrubbing, for instance?'"e; As though suffering a mental breakdown wasn't bad enough, Dawn is forced to listen to the snide advice of a doctor who seems to know more about her home and professional life than she does. Determined to maintain her career as a reporter, she decides to move to a small town and start fresh. Away from the hustle and bustle of New York City, she hopes to find success while learning more about herself in the process. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Edna Ferber's Dawn O'Hara: The Girl Who Laughed is a classic work of American literature reimagined for modern readers.
