    "description": "<b>&ldquo;A lush and luminous gem of a novel: <i>The Den</i> is a book with depth and mystery and soul.&rdquo; &mdash;Chris Bohjalian, author of <i>The Red Lotus<br><br></i></b>Sisters Henrietta and Jane are fifteen and twelve, growing up in a farmhouse on the outskirts of a small New England town. When Henrietta becomes obsessed with a local boy, Jane takes to trailing the young couple, spying on their trysts. Until one night, Henrietta vanishes into the woods.<br><br>A century and a half earlier, sisters Elspeth and Claire are separated by an ocean: Elspeth&rsquo;s pregnancy at seventeen meant she was quickly married and sent to America to avoid certain shame. But when she begins ingratiating herself with a wealthy mill owner, a series of wrenching and violent events unfold, culminating in her disappearance.<br><br>Each in their own times, Jane and Claire must search for their missing sisters beneath the watchful eyes of their shared small town. With echoes of <i>The Scarlet Letter</i>, <i>The Den</i> is a transporting, layered tale of two women, living generations apart yet connected by place and longing, and condemned for the very same desires.<b><br></b>",
