{"product_id":"pond","title":"Pond, Claire-Louise Bennett (Signed)","description":"\u003cp\u003eFeverish and forthright, Pond is an absorbing chronicle of the pitfalls and pleasures of a solitudinous life told by an unnamed woman living on the cusp of a coastal town. Broken bowls, belligerent cows, swanky aubergines, trembling moonrises and horrifying sunsets, the physical world depicted in these stories is unsettling yet intimately familiar and soon takes on a life of its own. Captivated by the stellar charms of seclusion but restless with desire, the woman’s relationship with her surroundings becomes boundless and increasingly bewildering. Claire-Louise Bennett’s startlingly original first collection slips effortlessly between worlds and is by turns darkly funny and deeply moving.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"gentle books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48363041816713,"sku":"9781804270462","price":120.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/9289\/1785\/files\/9781804270462.jpg?v=1789642086","url":"https:\/\/thisisgentle.com\/products\/pond","provider":"gentle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
