{"product_id":"9781101118023","title":"The Ruins of California","description":"For the Ruin family in 1970s California, as described by the precocious young Inez, life is complex. Her father, Paul, is self-obsessed, intrusive, and brilliant. He's also twice divorced, leaving Inez to bounce between two worlds and embracing neither-that of Paul's bohemian life in San Francisco and the more sedate world of her mother Connie, a Latin bombshell who plays tennis and attends EST seminars in the suburbs. As Inez progresses through high school we are witness to a remarkable family saga that renders a strange and fascinating slice of America in transition-one like the Ruins of California themselves, at once bold and innocent, creative and chaotic, obsessed and liberating.","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47120807100656,"sku":"9781101118023","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781101118023_p0.jpg?v=1763685023","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781101118023","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
