{"product_id":"book-dt14","title":"Anya Seton","description":"Anya Seton was the bestselling author of ten historical novels, including the masterpieces \u003ci\u003eKatherine\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Winthrop Woman\u003c\/i\u003e, which are still widely beloved over sixty years after their publication; yet there has never before been a book-length biography about this great American writer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Ann Seton was born in 1904 the daughter of two celebrity writers: Ernest Thompson Seton and Grace Gallatin Seton. At age thirty-six and self-renamed Anya, she placed her first novel with a major publisher. Anya the author was protective of her private life yet also mused, \"I suppose I write myself over and over again in my heroines.\" She reinvented herself within carefully researched historical settings and biographical materials that provided both escape and wish-fulfillment. In journal entries, letters, and \"self-analyses,\" she provides an intimate study of what it meant to her to be a writer. She wrote probably her own best epitaph while working on her masterpiece, \u003ci\u003eKatherine\u003c\/i\u003e: \"My forte is story, and a peculiarly meticulous (fearful, yes) desire to weave historical fact into story. Make history come alive and as exciting as the past is to me.\"","brand":"Tantor","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49370231669040,"sku":"BDdt14","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49370231767344,"sku":"ZEdt14","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49370231898416,"sku":"ZMdt14","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD [40]","offer_id":49370231963952,"sku":"40dt14","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/dt14-Square-cover.jpg?v=1771632948","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-dt14","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
