{"product_id":"signals-of-distress-jim-crace-9780312424428","title":"Signals of Distress","description":"\u003cp\u003eNovember, 1836. A fierce gale beaches an American sail ship off the English coast, injuring an African slave below decks and eventually disgorging 300 head of cattle and rowdy American sailors into a hardscrabble fishing village. The same storm drives into port a steamer, bearing one Aymer Smith, the foolish well-intentioned prig who will deprive the town of its livelihood, free the African slave, and set into motion a whole series of unforeseeable, tragicomic events. One of the most seductive and surprising novelist at work today, once again creates a richly strange and believable world, uncannily familiar to our own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jim Crace\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0312424426\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780312424428\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e St. Martins Press-3PL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.75h x 5.27w x 0.71d","brand":"Jim Crace","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43946434265343,"sku":"9780312424428","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_fc098480-1001-4a71-b1fe-6098322607d8.jpg?v=1681513126","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/signals-of-distress-jim-crace-9780312424428","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
