{"product_id":"the-story-of-a-new-jane-mander-9780473586560","title":"The Story of a New Zealand River","description":"The Story of a New Zealand River was the first and most acclaimed novel by Jane Mander, one of New Zealand's most controversial writers. Republished here for a new audience, readers will delight in Mander's liberal views-written in a time when New Zealand was at its most conservative-her social liberalism and her obvious love of Northland. The book views New Zealand settler society through the eyes of Alice, raised as a Puritan in Victorian England, who must face a radically different society in a Northland kauri-milling town. The clash between these views, and between generations, drives a very human story. Mander herself grew up in a similar environment. Her childhood experiences add a great deal to the realism and detail of the book. This new edition also contains a forward describing the author's life and writing by D. B. Hann, New Zealand writer and lecturer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jane Mander\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0473586568\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780473586560\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e AG Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/28\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 380\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.78d","brand":"Jane Mander","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44810040574207,"sku":"9780473586560","price":25.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0074770f-a010-442a-b18d-cc6cc6d81df7.jpg?v=1707928169","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-story-of-a-new-jane-mander-9780473586560","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
