{"product_id":"mother-of-pearl-oprahs-book-club","title":"Mother of Pearl (Oprah's Book Club)","description":"Capturing all the rueful irony and racial ambivalence of small-town Mississippi in the late 1950s, Melinda Haynes' celebrated novel is a wholly unforgettable exploration of family, identity, and redemption. Mother of Pearl revolves around twenty-eight-year-old Even Grade, a black man who grew up an orphan, and Valuable Korner, the fifteen-year-old white daughter of the town whore and an unknown father. Both are passionately determined to discover the precious things neither experienced as children: human connection, enduring commitment, and, above all, unconditional love. A startlingly accomplished mixture of beauty, mystery, and tragedy, Mother of Pearl marks the debut of an extraordinary literary talent.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0671774670\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0671774670.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Haynes, Melinda\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43338190291005,"sku":"BVV.0671774670.VG","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/0671774670-0.jpg?v=1783910025","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/mother-of-pearl-oprahs-book-club","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
