{"product_id":"evoking-spirits-paul-royce-9781453859605","title":"Evoking Spirits: The medium, the merchant \u0026 the professor","description":"Spiritualism flourished in the aftermath of the Civil War. Families of soldiers who never returned home sought closure and found it in séances where they learned their loved ones were peacefully living on the other side, waiting to be reunited with those still in the mortal sphere. The scientific discoveries of the era, paradoxically, contributed to the spiritualistic fervor. Things that were only imagined such as rapid transmission of messages over long distances became reality with the invention of telegraphy. Who was to say that messages from the other side were impossible? Set in Boston in the latter half of the nineteenth century this novel tells the story of a merchant and a Harvard professor who fall under the spell of a charismatic medium.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Royce\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1453859608\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781453859605\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/08\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.24w x 0.36d","brand":"Paul Royce","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48458430513407,"sku":"9781453859605","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d39d49cd-3349-40f4-95ea-5e29d2e0f24e.jpg?v=1777404392","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/evoking-spirits-paul-royce-9781453859605","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
