{"product_id":"9780060186531","title":"Magdalena the Sinner: A Novel","description":"\u003cp\u003eWritten with pace, humor and startling literary allusion, Lilian Faschinger's novel is the story of the sensual Magdalena, who, disguised in a nun's habit, kidnaps a priest at gunpoint and drives him in the sidecar of her Puch motorbike to a remote forest clearing where she ties him to a tree. What she is about to confess to him is profoundly shocking: All Magdalena wanted was to find true love. What she found instead was a string of lovers who each made the fatal mistake of disappointing her. From a Latin dance instructor who uses a metronome to help him keep his rhythm in bed to a Ukrainian who plays mental chess games at the gravesite of former grandmaster Alexander Alekhine, Magdalena's men all lost their lives when they no longer satisfied her; perishing by her hand through poison, drowning and incineration. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e A head-on collision between Church and sex, \u003ci\u003eMagdalena the Sinner\u003c\/i\u003e interweaves highly charged erotica with modern views on Catholicism, feminism and the tensions between men and women.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47009930379504,"sku":"9780060186531","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780060186531_p0.gif?v=1763618656","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780060186531","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
