{"product_id":"the-underpainter","title":"The Underpainter","description":"Description for THE UNDERPAINTER by Jane Urquhart: \u003cp\u003e\r\n\r\nIn Rochester, New York, a seventy-five-year-old artist, Austin Fraser, is creating a new series of paintings recalling the details of his life and of the lives of those individuals who have affected him--his peculiar mother, a young Canadian soldier and china painter, a First World War nurse, the well-known American painter Rockwell Kent, and Sara, a waitress from the wilderness mining settlement of Silver Islet, Ontario, who became Austin's model and mistress. Spanning more than seven decades, from the turn of the century to the mid-seventies, THE UNDERPAINTER--in range, in the sheer power of its prose, and in its brilliant depiction of landscape and the geography of imagination--is Jane Urquhart's most accomplished novel to date, with one of the most powerful climaxes in contemporary fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Connies Bookshelf","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42954502734040,"sku":"9780670877263","price":3.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0648\/9099\/4904\/products\/TheUnderpainter.jpg?v=1654989018","url":"https:\/\/conniesbookshelf.com\/products\/the-underpainter","provider":"Connies Bookshelf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
