{"product_id":"2940170704545","title":"Book of Ages: The Life and Opinions of Jane Franklin","description":"From one of our most accomplished and widely admired historians, a revelatory portrait of Benjamin Franklin' s youngest sister and a history of history itself. Like her brother, Jane Franklin was a passionate reader, a gifted writer, and an astonishingly shrewd political commentator. Unlike him, she was a mother of twelve.\u003cbr\u003eBenjamin Franklin, who wrote more letters to his sister than he wrote to anyone else, was the original American self-made man; his sister spent her life caring for her children. They left very different traces behind. Making use of an amazing cache of little-studied material, including documents, objects, and portraits only just discovered, Jill Lepore brings Jane Franklin to life in a way that illuminates not only this one woman but an entire world-- a world usually lost to history. Lepore' s life of Jane Franklin, with its strikingly original vantage on her remarkable brother, is at once a wholly different account of the founding of the United States and one of the great untold stories of American history and letters: a life unknown.","brand":"Recorded Books, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47115851137264,"sku":"2940170704545","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170704545_p0.jpg?v=1763715320","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170704545","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
