{"product_id":"burning-marguerite-9780375726224","title":"Burning Marguerite","description":"One winter morning James Jack Wright finds ninety-four-year-old Marguerite Deo--the woman he has always known as \"Tante\"--lying dead in the woods outside his cabin, clad only in a flowered nightgown. With this arresting scene, Elizabeth Inness-Brown ushers readers into her mysterious and lyrical narrative, the story of two closely braided lives that forces a reconsideration of our notions of maternity, loyalty, love, and perhaps death itself. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs James Jack sets out to fulfill Marguerite's unusual last wishes, the narrative unveils the secrets of their pasts. It arcs from Depression-era New Orleans to a barren New England island at the turn of the century, from an illicit passion and an unforgivable crime to the relationship between a small boy and a tough, reclusive woman who turns out to possess an unsuspected capacity for love.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Knopf Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/13\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780375726224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.02h x 5.19w x 0.58d","brand":"Elizabeth Inness-Brown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44848901161141,"sku":"9780375726224","price":19.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_d9782ba3-e8d3-458f-8d0f-fb1d51297af6.jpg?v=1732634190","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/burning-marguerite-9780375726224","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
