{"product_id":"whereabouts","title":"Whereabouts, Jhumpa Lahiri","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe woman moves through her city, her city, on her own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe moves along its bright pavements; she passes over its bridges, through its shops and pools and bars. She slows her pace to watch a couple fighting, to take in the sight of an old woman in a waiting room; pauses to drink her coffee in a shaded square.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSometimes her steps take her to her grieving mother, sealed off in her own solitude. Sometimes they take her to the station, where the trains can spirit her away for a short while.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut in the arc of a year, as one season gives way to the next, transformation awaits. One day at the sea, both overwhelmed and replenished by the sun's vital heat, her perspective will change forever.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA rare work of fiction, Whereabouts – first written in Italian and then translated by the author herself-- brims with the impulse to cross barriers. By grafting herself onto a new literary language, Lahiri has pushed herself to a new level of artistic achievement. A dazzling evocation of a city, its captures a woman standing on one of life’s thresholds, reflecting on what has been lost and facing, with equal hope and rage, what may lie ahead.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"gentle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956648456329,"sku":"9781526629968","price":50.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/9289\/1785\/files\/9781526629968.jpg?v=1794323248","url":"https:\/\/thisisgentle.com\/products\/whereabouts","provider":"gentle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
