{"product_id":"the-gravediggers-daughter-9780061236839","title":"The Gravedigger's Daughter","description":"\u003cp\u003eFleeing Nazi Germany in 1936, the Schwarts immigrate to a small town in upstate New York. Here the father--a former high school teacher--is demeaned by the only job he can get: gravedigger and cemetery caretaker. When local prejudice and the family's own emotional frailty give rise to an unthinkable tragedy, the gravedigger's daughter, Rebecca heads out into America. Embarking upon an extraordinary odyssey of erotic risk and ingenious self-invention, she seeks renewal, redemption, and peace--on the road to a bittersweet and distinctly \"American\" triumph.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ecco Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/13\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780061236839\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 624\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.07lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.04h x 5.54w x 1.11d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e National Book Critics Circle Award - Finalist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/11\/2008 pg. 36\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/08\/2008 pg. 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e115174 \/ Gravedigger's Daughter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 6 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 30\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Joyce Carol Oates","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44736648052917,"sku":"9780061236839","price":15.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_69cb03d4-b30c-48a2-a417-227d77a7084b.jpg?v=1729609915","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-gravediggers-daughter-9780061236839","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
