{"product_id":"quicksand-nella-larsen-9781684112951","title":"Quicksand","description":"\u003cp\u003eNella Larsen's first novel tells the story of Helga Crane, a fictional character loosely based on Larsen's own early life. Crane is the lovely and refined daughter of a Danish mother and a West Indian black father who abandons Helga and her mother soon after Helga is born. Unable to feel comfortable with any of her white-skinned relatives, Helga lives in various places in America and visits Denmark in search of people among whom she feels at home. The work is a superb psychological study of a complicated and appealing woman, Helga Crane, who, like Larsen herself, is the product of a liaison between a black man and a white woman. In one sense, Quicksand might be called an odyssey; however, instead of overcoming a series of obstacles and finally arriving at her native land, Larsen's protagonist has a series of adventures, each of which ends in disappointment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nella Larsen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1684112958\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781684112951\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e www.bnpublishing.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/23\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.32d","brand":"Nella Larsen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43979565138175,"sku":"9781684112951","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9eca6a71-e7df-4d15-bec6-158ef09ceced.jpg?v=1683246031","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/quicksand-nella-larsen-9781684112951","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
