{"product_id":"a-desert-between-two-seas-a-novel-in-stories","title":"A Desert Between Two Seas: A Novel in Stories","description":"Set in the crumbling Spanish missions of nineteenth-century Baja California, this mythic novel in linked stories follows two grief-stricken people as haunted as the desolate chapels around them: a priest who caused the drowning of a native boy by compelling him to fish for pearls, and a deaf woman trying to outrun her murderous reputation as a pistolera. Though the stories span landscapes, villages, characters, and decades, the heart of the novel is Baja California itself--a stark land of cactus and creosote, of russet canyons and splintered wastes of rock--where people living in the shadow of ruined missions seek redemption on an inhospitable peninsula forsaken even by its priests.\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 0820374385\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9780820374383\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Muia, A., N\/A, N\/A\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: University of Georgia Press\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"University of Georgia Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback (Sep 2025)","offer_id":45659572830405,"sku":"9780820374383","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9780820374383.jpg?v=1768912993","url":"https:\/\/www.inveni.store\/products\/a-desert-between-two-seas-a-novel-in-stories","provider":"Inveni","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
