{"product_id":"9781933372761","title":"God on the Rocks","description":"It is with great pleasure that Europa Editions makes this Booker Prize short-listed novel newly available to the legions of Gardam fans.\u003cp\u003e  Originally published in Great Britain in 1978, the novel describes Margaret Marsh's coming of age one summer between the world wars. Caught in the backwash of a fervently religious father, a mother bitterly nostalgic for what might have been, the tea and sympathy of some thoroughly secular neighbors and the bawdy jokes of her nanny Lydia, Margaret's world hurtles towards a shattering moment of truth. Drama, tragedy and a touch of farce lend themselves to Gardam's typically eloquent prose. With subtlety and precision, \u003ci\u003eGod on the Rocks\u003c\/i\u003e provides an intimate portrait of the tensions that divide men and women, present and past, and the love and sorrow that lingers throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Jane Gardam's reputation in the United States has been greatly enlarged by the critical acclaim and commercial success garnered by her latest novels, last year's \u003ci\u003eMan in the Wooden Hat\u003c\/i\u003e and her masterpiece \u003ci\u003eOld Filth\u003c\/i\u003e. Now, newcomers and fans alike can enjoy the pleasure of the splendid writing that established Gardam's considerable canon some four decades ago.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Europa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47063060087024,"sku":"9781933372761","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781933372761_p0.jpg?v=1763640092","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781933372761","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
