{"product_id":"9781925281934","title":"Building Bridges","description":"Build a bridge, and get over it... Melbourne, 1970. Arnold is a first year resident at the Royal. It is a year of bridging: from medical student to doctor, child to adult, from mindless obedience to independent thought. Working endless hours in a hospital that seems to value tradition over competence, Arnold and his fellow residents comically bumble along. The only constant are his nightmares: a phobia of police. Despite his fears, it is Arnold who breathlessly calls the police to say he witnessed Petr stab Greg outside the hospital. Greg is a fellow resident doctor and Arnold's closest friend while Petr is a recently arrived immigrant working on the construction of the Westgate Bridge. So what brings these two seemingly unconnected men together in such a dramatic way? In this dark yet comic tale of coming of age we meet those born in the aftermath of the Holocaust, self-absorbed and ignorant of the shadow it casts over their lives. There are many bridges to be crossed that year. But not all of them will remain standing.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Sid Harta Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47137185726704,"sku":"9781925281934","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781925281934_p0.jpg?v=1763634145","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781925281934","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
