{"product_id":"book-btsf","title":"Wintering","description":"\u003cp\u003eA highly acclaimed novelist now gives us a true epic: a love story that spans sixty years, generations' worth of feuds, and secrets withheld and revealed. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe two principal stories at play in \u003ci\u003eWintering \u003c\/i\u003eare bound together when the elderly, demented Harry Eide escapes his sickbed and vanishes into the forbidding, northernmost wilderness that surrounds the town of Gunflint, Minnesota-instantly changing the Eide family, and many other lives, forever.

And men hunting other men. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow-with his father pronounced dead-Gus relates their adventure in vivid detail to Berit Lovig, who'd spent much of her life waiting for Harry, her passionate conviction finally fulfilled over the last two decades. So, a middle-aged man rectifying his personal history, an aging lady wrestling with her own and with the entire saga of a town and region they'd helped to form and were in turn relentlessly, unforgettably formed by.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blackstone Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49301181137200,"sku":"BDbtsf","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49301181202736,"sku":"ZEbtsf","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49301181268272,"sku":"ZMbtsf","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/btsf-Square-cover.jpg?v=1775802110","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-btsf","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
