{"product_id":"the-river-never-left-her-emily-benz-9781398430488","title":"The River Never Left Her","description":"In present-day Z?rich, an American expat, Emily Benz, buys a set of personal archives at an online auction, setting off an investigation into the life of a British woman raised in the early part of the twentieth century in China. What seemed like an innocuous tin of bonbons sold by a grandson soon turns into a can of worms that can't be closed again, revealing family dysfunction that stretches back generations, a fairy-tale childhood, four marriages and a liaison. Emily must reconcile the woman's adult biography with the vivid memoir of China seen through the eyes of a child. This most unexpected memoir moves between China at the turn of the last century, scandal in the high society of 1920s England, and a tenacious widow living in the Switzerland of today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Emily Benz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 139843048X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781398430488\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Austin Macauley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/22\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 284\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.77d","brand":"Emily Benz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46721445265663,"sku":"9781398430488","price":35.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_99732e39-7611-447f-8dd5-f5f7fa915271.jpg?v=1742752890","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-river-never-left-her-emily-benz-9781398430488","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
