{"product_id":"2940170813476","title":"Holy Water: A Novel","description":"Henry Tuhoe is the quintessential twenty-first-century man. He has a vague, well-compensated job working for a multinational  conglomerate-but everyone around him is getting laid off as the company outsources everything it can to third-world countries. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHenry has a beautiful wife-his college  sweetheart-and an idyllic new home in the leafy suburbs, complete with pool. But his wife won't let him touch her, even though she demanded he get a vasectomy; he's seriously overleveraged on the mortgage; and no matter what chemicals he tries, the pool remains a corpselike shade of ghastly green. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThen Henry's boss offers him a choice: go to the tiny, magical, about-to-be-globalized Kingdom of Galado to oversee the launch of a new customer-service call center for a boutique bottled water company the conglomerate has just acquired, or lose the job with no severance. Henry takes the transfer, more out of fecklessness than a sense of adventure. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Galado, a land both spiritual and corrupt, Henry wrestles with first-world moral conundrums, the life he left behind, the attention of a steroid-abusing, megalomaniacal monarch, and a woman intent on redeeming both his soul and her country. The result is a riveting piece of fiction of and for our times, blackly satirical, moving, and profound.","brand":"Tantor Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47105151664368,"sku":"2940170813476","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170813476_p0.jpg?v=1763718532","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170813476","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
