{"product_id":"after-hannibal-barry-unsworth-9780393317701","title":"After Hannibal","description":"From the Booker Prize-winning author of Sacred Hunger, \"a vivid, sinuous, profound, and entirely beguiling venture.\" --Richard Eder, Los Angeles Times. Set in the beautiful landscape and rich history of Umbria, Italy, Booker Prize-winning author Barry Unsworth has written a witty and illuminating work of contemporary manners and morals. The region where Hannibal defeated the Romans is now prey to a different type of invasion: outsiders buying villas with innocent and not so innocent dreams. Among those clustered along one hillside road are the Greens, a retired American couple seeking serenity; the Chapmans, whose dispute over a wall escalates into a feud of operatic proportions; and Fabio and Arturo, a gay couple who, searching for peace and self-sufficiency, find treachery instead. Add to this mix a wily and corrupt British \"building expert,\" and a lawyer who practices subterfuge and plans his client's actions like military strategy, and you have a sharp, entertaining, and satisfyingly bittersweet work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Barry Unsworth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0393317706\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780393317701\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
