{"product_id":"the-tiger-in-the-grass-harriet-doerr-9780140251487","title":"The Tiger in the Grass: Stories and Other Inventions","description":"In her first collection of stories and pieces, Harriet Doerr explores the magical power of memory and brings us a wealth of unforgettable characters: eccentric eighty-two-year-old Great-Aunt Alice, who, empowered by a lucid memory, lived out her final, physically debilitated years with grace; Edie, who arrives in California from England to bring sanity and peace to a house with five half-orphaned children and a despairing widower; Paco, eight years old, and Gloria, eleven, children caught between the longing and pleasures of childhood and the harsh mature realities of their meager circumstances in a Mexican village. These and other characters are captured in the web of life with a startling sensitivity that will touch the reader at every turn. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Strikingly pure and radiant.\"--\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Harriet Doerr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0140251480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780140251487\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.75h x 5.10w x 0.61d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/20\/1996 pg. 36\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/09\/1996","brand":"Harriet Doerr","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44966089261311,"sku":"9780140251487","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_aec7b851-7a84-4c18-9bd6-b9b82d2b52f7.jpg?v=1711158826","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-tiger-in-the-grass-harriet-doerr-9780140251487","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
