In segregated St. Louis sometime after World War II, Jack falls in love with Della Miles, an African-American high school teacher, also a preacher's child, with a discriminating mind, a generous spirit and an independent will. Their fraught, beautiful story is one of Robinson's greatest achievements.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46491593703582,"sku":"ADS-9780349011790","price":22.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780349011790.jpg?v=1770594603","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780349011790","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
