{"product_id":"9781550813654","title":"Lovesongs of Emmanuel Taggart","description":"Things no longer look the same for 45-year-old Emmanuel (“M”) Taggart. Thinking he has a bad case of the flu, M leaves the office to embark on a road of self-discovery. Although the doctors find nothing medically wrong, M becomes convinced that he is suffering from an undiagnosed terminal disease, a brain tumour perhaps. During his brief period of “illness,” Emmanuel is increasingly peevish, irritable, mean, selfish, and nearly impossible for his long-suffering wife, Emily, to withstand. Moreover, M runs into Juhan Lipp, an old man for whom he immediately feels a unique and filial attachment. Juhan seems to have acquired the wisdom that M is lacking. Lovesongs of Emmanuel Taggart is a comedy, focusing upon the antics and perceptions of an ordinary person as he finally comes to terms with his own humanity.","brand":"Breakwater Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47128526389488,"sku":"9781550813654","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781550813654_p0.jpg?v=1763750734","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781550813654","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
