{"product_id":"apostles-of-light-ellen-douglas-9780878057382","title":"Apostles of Light","description":"The elderly couple in this fine novel, a retired schoolteacher and the doctor with whom she has had a lifelong, tender love affair, find that, almost by accident, they have forfeited control of their own lives. Trapped in a nursing home, they are the victims of the biblical \"apostles of light,\" the deceitful do-gooders who profess righteousness. In subtle, elegant prose Ellen Douglas recounts a gripping story of their brave attempt to free themselves from a dreadful plight. They must confront both their corrupt and evil custodians and their well-meaning younger relatives who are tempted by greed, ambition, cowardice, and indifference. \"Apostles of Light\" was a finalist for the National Book Award in 1973.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ellen Douglas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0878057382\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780878057382\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Mississippi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 307\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.23h x 5.36w x 0.96d","brand":"Ellen Douglas","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926732767487,"sku":"9780878057382","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_1e19264a-c9a5-4427-84c1-6ea8fd39fdd4.jpg?v=1681084703","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/apostles-of-light-ellen-douglas-9780878057382","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
