Vulnerable and resilient, openhanded and openhearted, these women forge their lives in a place that in turn threatens and protects--a common prison and a shared home. Naylor renders both loving and painful human experiences with simple eloquence and uncommon intuition in this touching and unforgettable read.\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gloria Naylor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Penguin Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6\/30\/1983\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.35 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.6\" H x 5\" L x 0.6\" W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780140066906\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Flowerburst","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67712766017840,"sku":"9780140066906","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2712\/8368\/files\/9780140066906.jpg?v=1788190151","url":"https:\/\/flowerburst.co\/products\/the-women-of-brewster-place-gloria-naylor-paperback","provider":"Flowerburst","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
