{"product_id":"the-buccaneers-9780140232028","title":"The Buccaneers","description":"Set in the 1870s, the same period as Wharton's \u003cb\u003eThe Age of Innocence\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003eThe Buccaneers\u003c\/b\u003e is about five wealthy American girls denied entry into New York Society because their parents' money is too new. At the suggestion of their clever governess, the girls sail to London, where they marry lords, earls, and dukes who find their beauty charming--and their wealth extremely useful.\u003cp\u003eAfter Wharton's death in 1937, \u003cb\u003eThe Christian Science Monitor\u003c\/b\u003e said, \"If it could have been completed, \u003cb\u003eThe Buccaneers\u003c\/b\u003e would doubtless stand among the richest and most sophisticated of Wharton's novels.\" Now, with wit and imagination, Marion Mainwaring has finished the story, taking her cue from Wharton's own synopsis. It is a novel any Wharton fan will celebrate and any romantic reader will love. This is the richly engaging story of Nan St. George and guy Thwarte, an American heiress and an English aristocrat, whose love breaks the rules of both their societies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780140232028\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.00w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/19\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2014 pg. 47\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Edith Wharton, Marion Mainwaring","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36634752155804,"sku":"9780140232028","price":14.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_beea41ca-f135-4b0c-8dce-a590ebf7b316.jpg?v=1603837563","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-buccaneers-9780140232028","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
