{"product_id":"morality-tale-sylvia-brownrigg-9781582434810","title":"Morality Tale","description":"When this novel's unnamed narrator meets the elusive but exciting Richard (an envelope salesman with a nice layman's line in Zen philosophies), he offers her a friendly escape from her dreary domestic life. Burdened by her husband's ongoing negotiations with his angry ex-wife, the strains of looking after two stepchildren, and the lingering ghost of her own past betrayals, she finds that the life of a \"second marryer\" leaves much to be desired. As their friendship develops, so grows the shadow cast over her marriage, and when they make a late, illicit bay crossing on a ferryboat, the story gathers momentum under California's Mount Tamalpais. There, in the fabled Golden State, Sylvia Brownrigg shows how even a layman's Zen can lead to some important revelations about the need to look forward, not back. Bristling with honesty and wit, \u003ci\u003eMorality Tale\u003c\/i\u003e explores the triangular complications that can befall a modern marriage and the tragicomic forces that surround them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sylvia Brownrigg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1582434816\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781582434810\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Catapult\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/07\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.52w x 0.72d","brand":"Sylvia Brownrigg","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44124903964927,"sku":"9781582434810","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_17b4caf6-79fb-4716-ab31-34772f91c639.jpg?v=1687439496","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/morality-tale-sylvia-brownrigg-9781582434810","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
