{"product_id":"landscapes-of-the-heart-9780807129166","title":"Landscapes of the Heart","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith charm and vivid detail, the acclaimed novelist Elizabeth Spencer acquaints readers with the places and people, the pleasures and heartaches, she has known in her life. From her idyllic childhood in small-town Mississippi onward, a questioning spirit and voracity for reading and writing shape Spencer's course: her formal and informal educations at Vanderbilt and in Rome, Florence, New York, and Montreal, and her break with the culturally rigid segregated society from which she sprang; her friendships with such great writers as Eudora Welty, Saul Bellow, John Cheever, and Robert Penn Warren; and her own many remarkable literary successes. A deeply affecting memoir by an esteemed American author, Landscapes of the Heart reveals Spencer to be both a part of and forever apart from her beloved southern roots.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eElizabeth Spencer was the author of many novels, including \u003ci\u003eThe Voice at the Back Door, \u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Salt Line, The Night Travellers, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThis Crooked Way, \u003c\/i\u003e and several short fiction collections, including \u003ci\u003eThe Southern Woman.\u003c\/i\u003e Her work has been widely translated and has merited numerous awards.
