The first story, \"The Good Anna\", relates the tale of Anna Federner, a servant in the household of Miss Mathilda, who clashes with four unreliable under servants, Lizzie, Molly, Katy, and Sallie. The second story, \"Melanctha\", the longest of the three stories, tells the tale of a girl of mixed race who is dissatisfied with her role in the segregated town of Bridgepoint. The third story, \"The Gentle Lena\", follows the life and death of the titular Lena, a German girl brought to Bridgepoint by a cousin, beginning with her life as a servant girl, followed by her marriage to Herman Kreder, which ultimately leads to a tragic conclusion. Along with \"Three Lives\" this volumes includes one of Gertrude Stein's most famous works, \"Tender Buttons\", a 1914 book of modernist poetry consisting of three sections titled \"Objects\", \"Food\", and \"Rooms\". This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gertrude Stein\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 142095847X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781420958478\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Digireads.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/14\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.46d","brand":"Gertrude Stein","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44064679723263,"sku":"9781420958478","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_24e7b65e-af12-48ee-abb2-da0e33c9a279.jpg?v=1685396911","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/three-lives-and-tender-buttons-gertrude-stein-9781420958478","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
