Transporting and atmospheric, it takes readers across the globe: Toronto in the 1970s, when Lisa was searching for place and purpose; the intense, frenetic streets of Bombay, where, young and unmoored, she became a peer of some of the biggest names in the Bollywood industry; the lush sensuality of Colombo and a film role that changed the course of her career; and in London, where she simultaneously found her footing in drama school and lost herself in an abusive relationship. It is a storied life, and one whose adventures teach Lisa that in the brightest and darkest moments, no matter where she travels to, she can always find her way back home--to herself. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAt once charming and wise, intimate and gut-wrenchingly honest, \u003ci\u003eClose to the Bone \u003c\/i\u003eis a revealing travelogue of the soul--a brave and inspiring story of a life lived on one's own terms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lisa Ray\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0385695721\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780385695725\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Doubleday Can Titles\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/03\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 5.90w x 1.10d","brand":"Lisa Ray","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43990952640767,"sku":"9780385695725","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bff7e1f0-07da-4cc8-a163-5bf0f2267e04.jpg?v=1683307606","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/close-to-the-bone-lisa-ray-9780385695725","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
