{"product_id":"9781101494264","title":"Nuns and Soldiers","description":"Set in London and in the South of France, this brilliantly structured novel centers on two women: Gertrude Openshaw, bereft from the recent death of her husband, yet awakening to passion; and Anne Cavidge, who has returned in doubt from many years in a nunnery, only to encounter her personal Christ. A fascinating array of men and women hover in urgent orbit around them: the \"Count,\" a lonely Pole obsessively reliving his \u0026amp;eacutemigr\u0026amp;eacute father's patriotic anguish; Tim Reede, a seedy yet appealing artist, and Daisy, his mistress; the manipulative Mrs. Mount; and many other magically drawn characters moving between desire and obligation, guilt and joy. This edition of \u003cb\u003eNuns and Soldiers\u003c\/b\u003e includes a new introduction by renowned religious historian Karen Armstrong.","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47120723509488,"sku":"9781101494264","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781101494264_p0.jpg?v=1763687066","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781101494264","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
