{"product_id":"9781101547687","title":"The Foreigners","description":"\u003cb\u003eA glittering, energetic novel about three women-each experiencing  an awakening in the gloriously conflicted and sexy city of Buenos  Aires. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuenos Aires is a city of Parisian affections and national anxiety,  of amorous young lovers, seedy ports, flooded slums, and a dazzling  social elite. Into this heady maze of contradiction and possibility  enter two women: Daisy, an American divorcée; and Isolde, a beautiful,  lonely Austrian. In Buenos Aires, Isolde finds that her blond European  looks afford her entrée to the kind of elite, alluring social world she  never would have had access to in her home country, but her ascension  also sets her up for a long, surprising fall. Meanwhile, Daisy joins  forces with Leonarda, a chameleonic Argentine with radical dreams of  rebellion, who transfixes Daisy with her wild effervescence. Soon,  Daisy is throwing off her American earnestness and engaging in a degree  of passion, manipulation, and risk-taking in a way she never has  before. Buenos Aires has allowed her to become someone else.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAgainst the throbbing backdrop of this shimmering and decadent city- almost a character in itself-Maxine Swann has created a stunning  narrative of reawakened sensuality and compulsive desire that  simultaneously explores with remarkable acuity themes of foreignness,  displacement, and the trembling metamorphoses that arise from such  states. From the award-winning, critically celebrated author of  \u003ci\u003eFlower Children, The Foreigners\u003c\/i\u003e is a startlingly bold and  original, unforgettable next novel.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47120878043376,"sku":"9781101547687","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781101547687_p0.jpg?v=1763688258","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781101547687","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
