{"product_id":"the-glassmaker-1","title":"The Glassmaker","description":"From the bestselling historical novelist, a rich, transporting story that follows a family of glassmakers from the height of Renaissance-era Italy to present day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is 1486 and Venice is a wealthy, opulent center for trade. Orsola Rosso is the eldest daughter in a family of glassblowers in Murano, the island revered for the craft. As a woman, she is not meant to work with glass—but she has the hands for it, the heart, and a vision. When her father dies, she teaches herself to make beads in secret, and her work supports the Rosso family fortunes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSkipping like a stone through the centuries, in a Venice where time moves as slowly as molten glass, we follow Orsola and her family as they live through creative triumph and heartbreaking loss, from a plague devastating Venice to Continental soldiers stripping its palazzos bare, from the domination of Murano and its maestros to the transformation of the city of trade into a city of tourists. In every era, the Rosso women ensure that their work, and their bonds, endure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChevalier is a master of her own craft, and The Glassmaker is as inventive as it is a mesmerizing portrait of a woman, a family, and a city that are as everlasting as their glass.","brand":"Bookshop.sg","offers":[{"title":"Thryft - Used (Like New)","offer_id":42550692479054,"sku":"9780008153878","price":14.9,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Thryft - Used (Very Good)","offer_id":42550692511822,"sku":"9780008153878","price":12.9,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Thryft - Used (Good)","offer_id":42550692544590,"sku":"9780008153878","price":11.9,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Thryft - Used (Well Read)","offer_id":42550692577358,"sku":"9780008153878","price":10.9,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/3857\/4926\/files\/209641953_1f83ab51-3d50-406e-8299-0ee291ff5c74.jpg?v=1747412830","url":"https:\/\/bookshop.sg\/products\/the-glassmaker-1","provider":"Bookshop.sg","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
