{"product_id":"9781785352362","title":"The First Day in Paradise","description":"The First Day in Paradise tells the story of a young orphaned family who have been passed on from one set of relations to another, and whose eldest sibling, Adam, becomes enthralled by the impending opening nearby of a gigantic and beautiful shopping-mall by a flamboyant entrepreneur. To the consternation of his aunt and uncle, who run a small business, he joins the staff of one of its stores, and begins a dizzying ascent through the ranks, until circumstances induce him to question whether his entire value-system has become corrupted. Functioning both as social-economic critique, and as a personal moral fable about the conjuration of ambition from present-day consumer culture, The First Day in Paradise is an engrossing and layered tale loosely modelled on Dante's Paradiso, but most of all it's simply a great read.","brand":"Hunt, John Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47131332247792,"sku":"9781785352362","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781785352362_p0.jpg?v=1769892897","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781785352362","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
