{"product_id":"2940000149201","title":"And Then Put Out the Light","description":"And Then Put Out the Light originally came out in 1993, and was only available in the UK. It's a timeless story that explores the ideas of individuality, freedom, the ties of home, family, and expectation, and what it means to be a woman. Emily Moon-Bourne is a sculptor gaining in popularity, the daughter of a Swedish alcoholic mother and a Native American father who disappeared frequently and for long periods throughout her childhood. Sheʼs also the ex-wife of a successful attorney who cheated on her with a woman almost half his age. Sheʼs a woman who listens to the vituperative voice in her head. One of Emilyʼs most successful pieces is a carving of a malevolent wasp she equates with her ex-husband. A sympathetic young woman mentions having seen the wasp in a gallery and Emily, curious about the purchaser goes to meet him. What she only slowly realizes is that Emily is also on a journey of discovery. She travels almost aimlessly, but everywhere she goes she meets women wrestling with some of the same issues she herself faces. She also sees, becomes attracted to, and finally obsesses over a tall, dark stranger in a frockcoat, while at the same time she begins to remember things sheʼd rather not about her childhood. Finally, at the age of 38, begins to unearth who she really is and what she truly believes.
