{"product_id":"romance-island-zona-gale-9781421843193","title":"Romance Island","description":"As The Aloha rode gently to her buoy among the crafts in the harbour, St. George longed to proclaim in the megaphone's monstrous parody upon capital letters: \"Cat-boats and house-boats and yawls, look here. You're bound to observe that this is my steam yacht. I own her-do you see? She belongs to me, St. George, who never before owned so much as a piece of rope.\" Instead-mindful, perhaps, that \"a man should not communi-cate his own glorie\"-he stepped sedately down to the trim green skiff and was rowed ashore by a boy who, for aught that either knew, might three months before have jostled him at some ill-favoured lunch counter. For in America, dreams of gold-not, alas, golden dreams-do prevalently come true; and of all the butterfly happenings in this pleasant land of larvae, few are so spectacular as the process by which, without warning, a man is converted from a toiler and bearer of loads to a taker of his bien. However, to none, one must believe, is the changeling such gazing-stock as to himself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Zona Gale\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1421843196\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781421843193\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e 1st World Library - Literary Society\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/15\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.67d","brand":"Zona Gale","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48800216973567,"sku":"9781421843193","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/romance-island-zona-gale-9781421843193","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
