{"product_id":"9781775581727","title":"The Butcher Shop","description":"IPG - \u003ci\u003eThe Butcher Shop\u003c\/i\u003e first appeared in 1926. Despite big overseas sales it was banned in New Zealand and later Australia for being disgusting, indecent and communistic – in other words for promoting revolutionary ideas about women and for a bold portrayal of the brutality of farm life. On one level, the novel is a fast-paced account of how passion and jealousy destroy the lives of a rich and cultured farming family; on another it is a fierce polemic for the freedom of women, which in its frankness was years ahead of its time.","brand":"Auckland University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47135357108464,"sku":"9781775581727","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781775581727_p0.jpg?v=1763711655","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781775581727","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
