{"product_id":"little-saint-9780375757471","title":"Little Saint","description":"Ostensibly the story of one day, the 24 hours described in \"Little Saint\" have 20 centuries woven through them. In this exquisite book, Green provides a wondrous and lyrical portrait of a small French village, and of Saint Foy, who was martyred as a 12-year-old girl in the year 303.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHannah Green\u003c\/b\u003e was born in Ohio, studied writing with Vladimir Nabokov and Wallace Stegner, wrote for \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e, and created one memorable novel that Richard Ellmann described as possessing \"the ecstasy that is fiction, is art.\" The reviewers' comments about that novel, \u003cb\u003eThe Dead of the House\u003c\/b\u003e, have particular pertinence to the book at hand. Of \u003cb\u003eLittle Saint\u003c\/b\u003e it may also be said, as \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e said of Hannah Green's novel, \"[She] writes under the eye of eter-nity. . . . Time flows in and around the events in her book like some tune that ties all events together.\" As Stegner said, \"This is evocation at the level of magic.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen the novel was reissued recently by Books \u0026amp; Company\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eTurtle Point Press, the \u003ci\u003eTimes\u003c\/i\u003e observed: \"Her classic work [has] been received with almost as much critical enthusiasm as its original publication a generation ago.\" Again, this echoed the judgment in \u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post\u003c\/i\u003e of her writing as \"a kind of dream, a protracted prose poem of singular delicacy, filled with generosity, love, and wisdom.\"\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Modern Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50844405334290,"sku":"9780375757471","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_de2db201-f5b4-4c4b-a175-79d77e5e3627.jpg?v=1737319090","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/little-saint-9780375757471","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
