{"product_id":"9780998375984","title":"Round the World in the Wrong Season","description":"\u003cp\u003eWritten between 1994 and 2009, is a memoir of global travel and an unfulfilled college crush. The book follows the narrator out of school and across the Pacific. At only 23 he has command of a 68-foot Burmese-teak ketch built in Scotland thrust upon him. The owner is on a voyage home to his death, and along the way they hire sailors twice the skipper's age. They makes it to New Zealand in a storm which sinks seven yachts, then spends months shearing sheep and writing a memoir. By the time the narrator makes a rendezvous with his college sweetheart (who has been teaching Thai students on the Burmese border), she seems to have all but forgotten him. This leads to a less than satisfactory denouement and puts at least one of them in the hospital. The book includes extensive photographs and hand-drawn charts and a detailed bibliography.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dell Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47300774789360,"sku":"9780998375984","price":1.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780998375984_p0.jpg?v=1763944361","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780998375984","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
