{"product_id":"glass-voices-21246","title":"Glass Voices","description":"\u003cp\u003eGlass Voices is the moving portrait of a family and their endurance of personal tragedy over two World Wars, and the social tumult of the 60s. It explores the interior life of a woman who has always worked hard for her family and taken little for herself. At the thought of losing her husband, Lucy confronts her dependence on a man whose self-destructiveness has frequently isolated her. At 71, Lucy Caines' husband suffers a severe stroke that makes her re-examine their complicated relationship. Lucy and Harry Caines' house had been destroyed in the 1917 Halifax Explosion, a catastrophe that claimed the life of their first child. With their second child, the young couple carved out a life for themselves amid a village of ramshackle houses, gambling, moonshine, and illegal fishing. Fifty-two years later, Lucy's son is married to the daughter of Lucy's worst enemy, and her grandson wants to quit school to go on a hippie pilgrimage. Forced to work together during Harry's long recovery, the family gains a new perspective on the past, and a fresh loss is countered with the emergence of a new hope.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nova Scotia School Book Bureau","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43663332048956,"sku":null,"price":18.36,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/3677\/6508\/files\/9781771086424.jpg?v=1762964269","url":"https:\/\/nssbb.ednet.ns.ca\/products\/glass-voices-21246","provider":"Nova Scotia School Book Bureau","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
