{"product_id":"warden-paperback","title":"WARDEN (Paperback)","description":"\u003cb\u003eThe first book in Anthony Trollope's funny, warm, well-loved Barchester Chronicles--perfect for Austen fans\u003c\/b\u003e The tranquil atmosphere of the cathedral town of Barchester is shattered when a scandal breaks concerning the financial affairs of a church-run almshouse for elderly men. In the ensuing furor, Septimus Harding, the almshouse's well-meaning warden, finds himself pitted against his daughter's suitor Dr. John Bold, a zealous local reformer. Matters are not improved when Harding's abrasive son-in-law, Archdeacon Grantly, leaps into the fray to defend him against a campaign Bold begins in the national press. An affectionate and wittily satirical view of the workings of the Church of England, this novel is also a subtle exploration of the rights and wrongs of moral crusades and, in its account of Harding's intensely felt personal drama, a moving depiction of the private impact of public affairs.","brand":"Trollope, Anthony","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52337140269330,"sku":"9780099528654","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/9238\/5846\/files\/11375373482223.jpg?v=1780434000","url":"https:\/\/hbswarehousesale.com\/products\/warden-paperback","provider":"Harvard Book Store Warehouse Sale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
