{"product_id":"2940000738023","title":"An Old Maid","description":"An unwed mother gives up her daughter so that the child can join New York City's fashionable society of the mid-1800s. Years later, on the eve of the girl's wedding, \"Aunt\" Charlotte's long-suppressed anguish surfaces.\u003cbr\u003eEdith Wharton was a master of the novella form, and this tale of a mother's tragic sacrifice is one of her greatest contributions to the genre. It provides a fine example of her keen eye for observing and articulating the telling details of class and society. Available at last in a stand-alone edition, this enduringly popular story first appeared serialized in The Red Book Magazine in 1922 and later in an anthology. The basis for a successful Broadway show of the 1930s, it was later adapted into a popular film starring Bette Davis and Miriam Hopkins.","brand":"B\u0026R Samizdat Express","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47067007254768,"sku":"2940000738023","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940000738023_p0.jpg?v=1763544748","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940000738023","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
