"Nobody" by Louis Joseph Vance is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Sarah Manvers, a shop girl who finds herself in desperate circumstances, leading her to make a series of impulsive decisions that involve theft and deception. The narrative captures her longing for a better life amid struggles with poverty and the societal constraints faced by women of her time. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Sarah Manvers, who seeks refuge from the oppressive heat of a New York summer and the harsh realities of her life. After falling asleep on a rooftop, she is forced to take shelter in a nearby luxurious home amid a storm. In a mix of vulnerability and determination, she finds herself drawn into temptation, contemplating the allure of the wealth she observes and eventually undergoing a transformation that involves wearing extravagant clothing from the house she has intruded upon. However, her adventure takes a dark turn when she unexpectedly encounters a burglar in the house, leading to a series of events that further complicate her situation and force her to confront her choices and identity in a world that offers her little by way of opportunity.
