{"product_id":"suzanna-a-romance-of-early-california-9781590774120","title":"Suzanna: A Romance of Early California","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe tinkling of guitars in the moonlight; the softly hummed words of a Spanish love song; the sweet, liquid music of the bells in the mission San Carlos De Carmelo; fleeting pictures of old Father Junipero Serro—these and a hundred other rich memories flood the mind as one unfolds the story of little Suzanna, a peon girl, poor, futureless at a time when the Dons and the grandsons of the conquistadores were supreme in California.  You think of Ramona; the dust covered stretches of El Camino Real—the King’s Highway—appear before your eyes; you hear the roaring of quaint, old-fashioned, muzzleloading guns, the clash of cold steel; subconsciously you thrill to the deeds of valor, of sacrifice and danger. You are in step with romance and adventure when it was in its heyday in Old California.  Red-lipped, smoky-eyed senoritas smile on you; your nostrils dilate with ungent aromas of hot, golden brown tortillas, or fragrant, steaming tamales; for you the clock has been turned back a hundred years—you walk in a land that is gone, but in which fate played as recklessly with the lives of men and women as it does in our own world today.","brand":"Rowman \u0026 Littlefield","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50515944702295,"sku":"9781590774120","price":11.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781590774120.jpg?v=1745428304","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/suzanna-a-romance-of-early-california-9781590774120","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
