Who was Glinda before she became Elphaba Thropp's magnetic and popular roommate at Shiz University?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWell, before then, she was Galinda. With a 'ga'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe youngest of four children in a high-born family down on their luck, Galinda is both pampered and ignored. Her natural grace promises to elevate her in the district dance competitions - but these efforts distract her from seeing the growing resentments of local merchants who disapprove of her family and their business.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut as her father deftly pivots around the snares and nets laid for him by his rivals, Galinda begins to dance toward a life that might lift her above her proud, if hardscrabble, childhood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGalinda reveals the girl behind the bubbly, shallow cliche - offering fans of Wicked their first glimpse into the true life of a beloved and iconic character.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gregory Maguire","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989180825778,"sku":"9781035444052","price":383.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/9191\/8002\/files\/9781035444052-2.png?v=1788519858","url":"https:\/\/www.wordsworth.co.za\/products\/galinda-trade-paperback","provider":"Wordsworth Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
