{"product_id":"circle-of-deceit-callum-gunn-9781908026644","title":"Circle of Deceit","description":"Why does a respectable former Professor of English, happily married to a faithful wife for 35 years, suddenly at the age of 71 have an affair with a 54-year-old local Scots woman? He meets her while attending church in his local Church of Scotland-after he had delivered part of the sermon. She is an alcoholic and had come to the church slightly tipsy, seeking help, lavishly made up and wearing a revealing outfit showing a lot of cleavage. The novel is a slice of life that affords an insight into the resourceful and rationalising minds of the habitual 'sinner' and the recovering alcoholic-minds to which hiding the truth, re-inventing the truth or justifying lies comes all too easily. 'Thinking on one's feet' and a ready recourse to deceit are ingrained survival strategies, if not automatic instincts of the alcoholic mind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Callum Gunn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1908026642\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781908026644\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Diadem Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/09\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.75d","brand":"Callum Gunn","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48800594821375,"sku":"9781908026644","price":17.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/circle-of-deceit-callum-gunn-9781908026644","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
