{"product_id":"the-new-inheritors-9780802128171","title":"The New Inheritors","description":"Kent Wascom is one of the most exciting and ambitious emerging voices in American fiction. Envisaging a quartet of books telling the story of America through a single family and region, the Gulf Coast of the United States, Wascom began with his much-lauded debut, \u003ci\u003eThe Blood of Heaven\u003c\/i\u003e, published when he was just twenty-six and praised as \"stunning\" by the \u003ci\u003eMiami Herald\u003c\/i\u003e, and \"like the sermon of a revivalist preacher\" by the \u003ci\u003eWall Street Journal\u003c\/i\u003e. His second novel, \u003ci\u003eSecessia\u003c\/i\u003e, continues the story of the Woolsack family in Civil War New Orleans, and in \u003ci\u003eThe New Inheritors\u003c\/i\u003e, he has written his most powerful and poignant novel yet. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In 1914, with the world on the brink of war, Isaac, a nature-loving artist whose past is mysterious to all, including himself, meets Kemper, a defiant heiress caught in the rivalry between her brothers. Kemper's older brother Angel is hiding a terrible secret about his sexuality, and her younger brother Red possesses a capacity for violence that frightens even the members of his own brutal family. Together Isaac and Kemper build a refuge on their beloved, wild, Gulf Coast. But their paradise is short-lived; as the coast is rocked by the storms of summer, the country is gripped by the furor preceding World War I, and the Woolsack family's rivalries come to a bloody head. From the breathtaking beauty of the Gulf to the bloody havoc wreaked by the United States in Latin America, \u003ci\u003eThe New Inheritors\u003c\/i\u003e explores the beauty and burden of what is handed down to us all. At once a love story and a family drama, a novel of nature and a novel of war, \u003ci\u003eThe New Inheritors\u003c\/i\u003e traces a family whose life is intimately tied to the Gulf, that most disputed, threatened, and haunted part of this country we call America.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grove Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/10\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802128171\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.40w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2018 pg. 71\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2018 pg. 47\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/17\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/08\/2018\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Kent Wascom","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38606646771893,"sku":"9780802128171","price":22.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_ccee4f6e-3998-4b5e-948c-57c3ba8c7cff.jpg?v=1614085775","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-new-inheritors-9780802128171","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
