An Alabaster Box gathers stories that illuminate the pulse of late nineteenth-century New England, where small-town lives, public decorum, and private weathering collide with quiet, insistent truth. This is more than a short stories collection; it threads american literary realism with gothic regionalism to reveal domestic life, moral tension, and women's place in society. Freeman's portraits offer a precise critique of everyday morality and the limits of propriety, while anchoring her voices in a recognisable New England setting. For readers and students alike, the book reads with the accessibility of a modern classic, yet opens pathways to the era's broader conversations about gender, class, and identity-qualities that place Freeman among Kate Chopin contemporaries and Henry James contemporaries. Alpha Editions now presents this work as a true cultural treasure. Out of print for decades and restored for today's and future generations, An Alabaster Box is not merely a reprint but a beautifully preserved artefact. It will appeal to classic literature readers and those building a college syllabus reader, offering sharp social critique, enduring narrative craft, and a window into a pivotal period of American life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 248\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.56 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 05, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52547620471091,"sku":"9789354843136","price":36.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/MqTC9c7e1d9789354843136.webp?v=1784129204","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/an-alabaster-box-paperback-2","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
