{"product_id":"9781776561384","title":"Tess","description":"In the silence she could hear the oncoming hum, like a large flock approaching. She didn't want to hear his story; she'd had enough of them. Tess is on the run when she's picked up from the side of the road by lonely middle-aged father Lewis Rose. With reluctance, she's drawn into his family troubles and comes to know a life she never had. Set in Masterton at the turn of the millennium, Tess is a gothic love story about the ties that bind and tear a family apart. \"I love novels about amelioration, about people trying to mend things and fix themselves. Kirsten McDougall's brave and brilliant \u003ci\u003eTess \u003c\/i\u003eis one of these. A novel of tender observation and deftly judged suspense, Tess imagines what it might mean for someone to really know what goes on inside others\" —Elizabeth Knox","brand":"Victoria University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47172372627696,"sku":"9781776561384","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781776561384_p0.jpg?v=1763710818","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781776561384","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
