Carrie

In the late 1890s, an ambitious young woman leaves her small-town home for Chicago, hoping to find work and a better life. She becomes involved with a traveling salesman before falling for a married restaurant manager, whose choices and growing troubles reshape both their futures.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like serious period melodramas, troubled romances, and morally complicated characters, especially The Heiress or A Place in the Sun; Not for you if you want light entertainment or brisk pacing.
