The postcards and the photographs. A garnet ring and a needlepoint of the homestead. The aprons hanging from her kitchen door. Her soft, faded, dog-eared copy of \u003ci\u003eLittle House in the Big Woods\u003c\/i\u003e. A closet full of dresses sewn before she was born. All these things tell a story, but is it hers?\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIsabel is a single twenty-something in Portland, Oregon, who repairs damaged books in the basement of the local library, dreaming of a life she can't quite reach. She is filled with longing--for a life in Amsterdam even though she's never visited, for the unrequited love of a coworker, for a simpler time from her childhood in Alaska among the threatened glaciers she loves, and for the perfect vintage dress to wear to a party that just might change everything. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUnfolding over the course of a single day, Alexis M. Smith's shimmering debut finds Isabel looking into her past--remembering her parents' separation, a meeting with an astrologer, and a life-changing encounter with a glacier--and shows us how fleeting, everyday moments can reveal an entire life. In classic movies, in old photographs and unsent postcards, rare books, and thrifted gems, \u003ci\u003eGlaciers\u003c\/i\u003e tells the story of a young woman's love of the past and a hope to make something new and all her own.","brand":"Tin House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48175503114429,"sku":"BS-TC0-534903","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0771\/9767\/2637\/files\/9781953534903-HD.jpg?v=1787140170","url":"https:\/\/boundigo.com\/products\/glaciers","provider":"Boundigo Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
