{"product_id":"avalon","title":"Avalon","description":"\u003cp\u003eBran’s Southern California upbringing is anything but traditional. After her mother joins a Buddhist colony, Bran is raised by her “common-law stepfather” on Bourdon Farms—a plant nursery that doubles as a cover for a biker gang. She spends her days tending plants, slogging through high school, and imagining what life could be if she had been born to a different family.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAnd then she meets Peter, a beautiful, troubled, and charming train wreck of a college student from the East Coast, who launches his teaching career by initiating her into the world of literature and aesthetics. As the two begin a volatile and ostensibly doomed long-distance relationship, Bran searches for meaning in her own surroundings—attending disastrous dance recitals, house-sitting for strangers, and writing scripts for student films. She knows how to survive, but her happiness depends on learning to call the shots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003cbr\u003ePublished: 2023 in UK\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Faber And Faber Ltd. \u003cbr\u003ePages: 224\u003cbr\u003eISBN 13: 9780571376964\u003cbr\u003eISBN 10: 0571376967\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nell Zink","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43601722179850,"sku":"","price":13.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/products\/9781529111057_0d1a8d24-86f5-4417-9d2f-54f39053d22d.jpg?v=1656754251","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/avalon","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
