{"product_id":"eclipse-john-banville-9780375725296","title":"Eclipse","description":"In this deeply moving and original book, John Banville alloys mystery, fable, and ghost story with poignant psychological acuity to forge the riveting story of a man wary of the future, plagued by the past, and so uncertain in the present that he cannot discern the spectral from the real. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen renowned actor Alexander Cleave was a boy living in a large house with his widowed mother and various itinerant lodgers, he encountered a strikingly vivid ghost of his father. Now that he's fifty and has returned to his boyhood home to recover from a nervous breakdown on stage, he is not surprised to find the place still haunted. He is surprised, however, at the presence of two new lodgers who have covertly settled into his old roost. And he is soon overwhelmed by how they, coupled with an onslaught of disturbing memories, compel him to confront the clutter that has become his life: ruined career, tenuous marriage, and troubled relationship with an estranged daughter destined for doom.\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Banville\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0375725296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780375725296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Knopf Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/05\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.96h x 5.22w x 0.68d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2000 pg. 74\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/03\/2001 pg. 24\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/03\/2002 pg. 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2002 pg. 61\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2000","brand":"John Banville","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44076639846655,"sku":"9780375725296","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c47f44ef-bfa9-4d97-bba0-52d80913ed34.jpg?v=1685466058","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/eclipse-john-banville-9780375725296","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
