{"product_id":"the-vera-wright-trilogy-elizabeth-jolley-9780892553525","title":"The Vera Wright Trilogy: My Father's Moon\/Cabin Fever\/The Georges' Wife","description":"Set in 1940s wartime England, the trilogy follows young Vera, who leaves her cultivated Midlands home to become a nurse in a military hospital and is catapulted into adulthood through unorthodox love entanglements with both men and women, two illegitimate children, and finally emigration to Australia, where, from her new vantage point--now a doctor and writer--she looks back on her life's journey. Combining the beauty of Virginia Woolf with the spare, heartbreaking insightfulness of Jean Rhys, the trilogy is both a literary tour de force and an accessible, universal portrait of a woman in search of sustaining love.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The concluding volume, \u003cem\u003eThe Georges' Wife\u003c\/em\u003e, is published here for the first time in the US. The first two volumes have long been out of print. North American readers can now experience \"the most ambitious and accomplished work in Jolley's oeuvre\" (J. M. Coetzee).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elizabeth Jolley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0892553529\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780892553525\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Persea Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/13\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 568\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.22h x 5.84w x 1.21d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/14\/2009 pg. 40\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2010 pg. 57","brand":"Elizabeth Jolley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47520305807615,"sku":"9780892553525","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d10eee94-c768-4b33-b2d2-357a7e08faf6.jpg?v=1762884793","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-vera-wright-trilogy-elizabeth-jolley-9780892553525","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
