Finally, \u003ci\u003eSpirits\u003c\/i\u003e is about the pain that men and women can — and do — inflict upon each other. These three very different works illuminate the unadorned core of love — not the showy, more celebrated sort but what remains when lust, jealousy, and passion have been stripped away.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47007900041456,"sku":"9780060571832","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780060571832_p0.jpg?v=1763619913","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780060571832","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
