{"product_id":"sudden-rain-a-novel","title":"Sudden Rain: A Novel","description":"A vivid, gripping, emotional, and addictive read, Sudden Rain is also a rare and valuable portrait of an era: the long-lost final manuscript of Maritta Wolff—the author who, at the age of twenty-two, published what Sinclair Lewis deemed \"the most important novel of the year,\" Whistle Stop (1941).\n\nHailed by Entertainment Weekly as \"the Nixon-era precursor to Tom Perrotta's acclaimed novel, Little Children\" this is a compelling drama that offers great insight into the nature of marriage -- both then and now.\n\nNow that Sudden Rain has come out of its hiding place -- in Wolff's refrigerator, found after her death -- it remains gloriously frozen in time. Set in the fall of 1972, the novel perfectly captures, with expansive emotion and cinematic detail, the domestic trends of three generations of middle-class couples living in suburban Los Angeles. A brilliant portrait of its burgeoning era, Sudden Rain also offers striking cultural commentary on our everyday notions of love and marriage; individuality, equality, and community; and the promise and pursuit of the American Dream.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0743254856\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0743254856.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Wolff, Maritta\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: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
