{"product_id":"9781905583027","title":"Long Days","description":"\u003cp\u003eDemonstrating an unflinching insight into the internal worlds of adolescent men and women, this collection of stories presents an array of memorable characters. From a young woman seeing a dead body for the first time to a sister watching her anorexic sibling transform, this anthology delves deeply into people’s lives, capturing their fears and frustrations against a backdrop of pressures at pivotal moments. In the background, an over-eager teacher might be explaining \"the facts of life\" in unnecessary, lurid detail, but in the foreground, students are taking secret, drastic measures. A gymnastics class may be limbering up for an impressive display, but in reality, its diet-crazed girls faint in alarming numbers. With pared down but insistent language, this compendium achieves a poise and clarity, presenting tales of humanity that are as captivating as they are conflicted.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Carcanet Press, Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47060476068080,"sku":"9781905583027","price":9.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781905583027_p0.jpg?v=1763616456","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781905583027","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
