Introduction to Sally | 
Another outrageously wrong cover, this one a Kindle cash-grab rather than a foreign language edition.
This social satire from 1926 didn't wear well. The title character is an amiable working class girl who just wants to live a simple working class life, but happens to have been born so ethereally beautiful, no one can resist her. Hijinks ensue that make everyone involved utterly miserable, especially her. Far more depressing than funny.
Ruthiella That IS a misleading cover based on your summary and what I know of von Arnim! 😬 1w
julesG I saw the cover and wondered how title and author could fit with the picture. 🤔🤐😬 1w
LeahBergen Umm, isn‘t this novel set in 1910 or something? 😆 1w

Faranae I can't decide if that cover is genAI or just way too many “fun“ filters applied to a stock photo. 1w
