Trapped in a nursing home, they are the victims of the biblical \"apostles of light,\" the deceitful do-gooders who profess righteousness. In subtle, elegant prose Ellen Douglas recounts a gripping story of their brave attempt to free themselves from a dreadful plight. They must confront both their corrupt and evil custodians and their well-meaning younger relatives who are tempted by greed, ambition, cowardice, and indifference. \"Apostles of Light\" was a finalist for the National Book Award in 1973.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University Press of Mississippi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52267688034615,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":162.54,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/3548\/7543\/files\/9780878057382-1.jpg?v=1784963102","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.my\/ja\/products\/9780878057382","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Malaysia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
