{"product_id":"9781940425009","title":"Out of Peel Tree","description":"\u003cp\u003eMoving through time and space, Out of Peel Tree unfolds the patterns of an Appalachian sensibility that reverberate everywhere: a fatalism balanced by humor and flinty, hard-won hope, an appreciation for the surprises of the everyday, and a search for love and home amid strange and familiar places and people.  This innovative debut novel reveals the lives of a far-flung contemporary Appalachian family through a web of delicate turning points. A child discovers a grandmother she never knew has died. A runaway teen schemes to start a new life in Texas. A man on parole falls hopelessly in love with a shoplifter. A woman receives a letter about her husband's other wife. An old woman confronts a burglar with the help of her ghost-husband.  United by a connection to their matriarch, these characters search at home and beyond to make a fresh sense of their changing lives. As a novel in stories, Out of Peel Tree brings a new lyricism to the page and a new voice to American and Appalachian literature - a voice deeply inflected by the beauty of the natural world and by working-class grit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY PRESS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47535571861556,"sku":"9781940425009","price":39.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/9390\/2132\/files\/9781940425009.jpg?v=1774742011","url":"https:\/\/woodslane.com.au\/products\/9781940425009","provider":"Woodslane","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
