{"product_id":"9781854113375","title":"Remembering Carmen","description":"This novel elegantly dissects modern romantic mores. Christopher, a successful shop fitter specializing in transforming dilapidated London buildings into swanky bistros, is romantically involved with Carmen, a one-time academic now unhappily employed as a magazine columnist. Jimmy, a millionaire and virtuoso pianist with a laissez-faire attitude to life, seems to offer the fulfillment she seeks. This novel takes the form of Christopher's \"memorial\" to his former love. Set in London, Nice, the Greek Isles, and Tuscany, it is a beautifully crafted and utterly convincing portrait of adultery and its repercussions. Murray tracks his characters through the worlds of classical music, journalism, fashion modeling, and architecture, and asks where contentment might be found in an increasingly complex yet superficial world.\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNicholas Murray\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eA Short Book About Love\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eAldous Huxley\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eBruce Chatwin\u003c\/i\u003e.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Seren","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47032934236400,"sku":"9781854113375","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781854113375_p0.jpg?v=1763597818","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781854113375","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
