{"product_id":"alost-lady-by-cather-willa-paperback","title":"ALost Lady by Cather, Willa  Paperback","description":"Marian Forrester brings delight to her husband, an elderly railroad pioneer; to the small town of Sweet Water where they live; and to Niel Herbert, the young narrator of her story, who falls in love with her as a boy and later becomes her confidant.  He witnesses this vibrant woman in all her contradictory facets: by turns faithless and steadfast, dazzling and pathetic, invincibly charming yet dangerously vulnerable to the men she charms. All are bewitched by her charisma and grace - and all are ultimately betrayed. 'This classic has the striking economy of Hemingway, and is as poignant an elegy for the pioneer West as I have read. The vivacious Marian Forrester stands as a romantic paean to the pioneer's reckless abandon, counterpointed by the narrator's prim decency' The Times","brand":"Virago Press Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40582169985109,"sku":"9781844083732N","price":11.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2481\/5790\/products\/77e5c2e7-aea9-4069-929e-052f55fdfdc7.jpg?v=1681739727","url":"https:\/\/smeikalbooks.co.uk\/en-us\/products\/alost-lady-by-cather-willa-paperback","provider":"smeikalbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
