{"product_id":"9780802128171","title":"The New Inheritors","description":"\u003cp\u003eKent Wascom is one of the most exciting and ambitious emerging voices in American fiction. Envisaging a quartet of books telling the story of America through a single family and region, the Gulf Coast of the United States, Wascom began with his much-lauded debut, \u003ci\u003eThe Blood of Heaven\u003c\/i\u003e , published when he was just twenty-six and praised as “stunning” by the \u003ci\u003eMiami Herald\u003c\/i\u003e , and “like the sermon of a revivalist preacher” by the \u003ci\u003eWall Street Journal\u003c\/i\u003e. His second novel, \u003ci\u003eSecessia\u003c\/i\u003e , continues the story of the Woolsack family in Civil War New Orleans, and in \u003ci\u003eThe New Inheritors\u003c\/i\u003e , he has written his most powerful and poignant novel yet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 1914, with the world on the brink of war, Isaac, a nature-loving artist whose past is mysterious to all, including himself, meets Kemper, a defiant heiress caught in the rivalry between her brothers. Kemper’s older brother Angel is hiding a terrible secret about his sexuality, and her younger brother Red possesses a capacity for violence that frightens even the members of his own brutal family. Together Isaac and Kemper build a refuge on their beloved, wild, Gulf Coast. But their paradise is short-lived; as the coast is rocked by the storms of summer, the country is gripped by the furor preceding World War I, and the Woolsack family’s rivalries come to a bloody head. From the breathtaking beauty of the Gulf to the bloody havoc wreaked by the United States in Latin America, \u003ci\u003eThe New Inheritors\u003c\/i\u003e explores the beauty and burden of what is handed down to us all. At once a love story and a family drama, a novel of nature and a novel of war, \u003ci\u003eThe New Inheritors\u003c\/i\u003e traces a family whose life is intimately tied to the Gulf, that most disputed, threatened, and haunted part of this country we call America.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grove Atlantic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47300747067632,"sku":"9780802128171","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780802128171_p0.jpg?v=1763665734","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780802128171","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
