{"product_id":"bitter-aloes-marion-baxter-9780639932613","title":"Bitter Aloes: Stories from the Eastern Cape","description":"You would think not much ever happens in the sleepy towns and dusty pineapple valleys of South Mrica's eastern cape, yet look deeper. On shade-dappled farmhouse porches and in the back rooms of rented settler-era cottages in Fort Beaufort, stories unfold every day. Stories of loss, love, betrayal, obsession ... and fish. In the last decades of the 2oth century, author Marion Baxter cut a solitary and eccentric figure in provincial society, whose introspection belied a pen that wouldn't stop writing about the people and places around her. An author is, above all, an observer - and Baxter's writings stand as a high definition showcase of the place and time where she lived out her latter years. Baxter passed away from advanced breast cancer in july 2002, leaving behind a stack of neatly filed manuscripts in her small Rhodes University office. This volume of stories was on the top.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marion Baxter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0639932614\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780639932613\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Imprint\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/21\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 170\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.39d","brand":"Marion Baxter","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48435619004671,"sku":"9780639932613","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_13b798b3-fcae-4845-979b-82a0a9a057da.jpg?v=1777151570","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bitter-aloes-marion-baxter-9780639932613","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
