{"product_id":"reeds-in-the-wind-grazia-deledda-9780934977630","title":"Reeds in the Wind","description":"The rugged landscape of Baronia on Sardinia sets the scene for this novel of crime, guilt and retribution. This novel presents the story of the Pintor sisters - from a family of noble landowners now in decline - their nephew Giacinto, and their servant Efix, who is trying to make up for a mysterious sin committed many years before. Around, below, and inside them the raging Mediterranean storms, the jagged mountains, the murmuring forests, and the gushing springs form a Greek chorus of witness to the tragic drama of this unforgiving land. Deledda tells her story with her characteristic love of the natural landscape and fascination with the folk culture of the island, with details about the famous religious festivals held in mountain encampments and the lore of the \"dark beings who populate the Sardinian night, the fairies who live in rocks and caves, and the sprites with seven red caps who bother sleep.\" Introduction by the Sardinian ethnographer, Dolores Turchi.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Grazia Deledda\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0934977631\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780934977630\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Italica Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/22\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 212\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.52h x 5.49w x 0.52d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/21\/1998 pg. 73","brand":"Grazia Deledda","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43986759844095,"sku":"9780934977630","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2aba1500-55b7-4635-b727-02ac73125e12.jpg?v=1683285030","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/reeds-in-the-wind-grazia-deledda-9780934977630","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
