{"product_id":"to-make-my-bread","title":"To Make My Bread","description":"This classic novel, written in the midst of the Great Depression, translates the themes of Balzac to a Southern Appalachian setting. Lumpkin traces the path of the McClure family as they move from living as poor bootleggers in the mountains to living in a mill town, earning a pittance as factory workers. The McClures are navigating the treacherous path of industrialization without a safety net, even as the entire country reels with the effects of the Depression.\n \nLumpkin weaves a story in poetic mountains speech, moving through powerful religious experiences, through lawless love, and reaching a tremendous climax in a mill strike waged with all the desperation of a life and death struggle. Without literary tricks or devices she achieves tremendous emotional effects through sincerity and realism. \n ","brand":"Rowman \u0026 Littlefield","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54225124000088,"sku":"9781590774366","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781590774366.jpg?v=1761172232","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/to-make-my-bread","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
