{"product_id":"2940157940782","title":"Norwood","description":"North and South collide in the only novel written by celebrity minister Henry Ward Beecher (brother of Harriet Beecher Stowe).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeginning in the decades just before the Civil War, the novel follows the lives of a Massachusetts girl and boy into the first years of the conflict.  Abraham Lincoln makes a cameo appearance; the Battle of Gettysburg is a turning point for Beecher's characters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNorwood is part romance, part description of a stereotypical New England, and part exploration of philosophy and religion.  In its time, the novel was a sensation and a center of controversy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis ebook is transcribed from the first edition.  I've corrected typographical errors and added a brief introduction.  Also included are notices and reviews of the book from 1867 and 1868, with a brief essay on how the book was received.","brand":"merrycoz books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47084255740144,"sku":"2940157940782","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940157940782_p0.jpg?v=1764116652","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940157940782","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
