{"product_id":"9781849897433","title":"The Steel Kiss: Tales of Love, Obsession, Madness and Deceit","description":"Each of these nine stories explores a symptom of that pathology we call love. We meet a volatile woman whose husband betrays her once too often; a man who takes advantage of an amnesiac girl; a woman prepared to break a man’s spirit in order to win his heart; and a young man who obsesses about strangers on trains. We learn the corrosive power of secrets over the long course of a marriage, the way the pressure of years of conformity can explode in a single shocking act, and how love of the patriotic kind can, for a young soldier, end up brutalising the soul. By turns disturbing, funny, bittersweet and poignant, these are love stories of the darkest and most dangerous kind.","brand":"Andrews UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47136221561072,"sku":"9781849897433","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781849897433_p0.jpg?v=1763752493","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781849897433","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
