{"product_id":"splinter-hilary-bell-9781760622701","title":"Splinter","description":"\u003cp\u003eTales of missing children have always held a terrible fascination. Celtic folklore chilled the bones of many a superstitious new mother with stories of babies stolen from their beds by envious fairies, changelings left in their place. These days, when a child disappears the media grab us by the throat and won't let us go. These disappearances haunt us for days, weeks, years. In the dark of a Sydney winter, Hilary Bell's disquieting and downright chilling thriller \u003cem\u003eSplinter\u003c\/em\u003e channels tabloid news and primal fears alike. A couple are reunited with their missing daughter. Frantic activity has sustained them through her long absence. But now that she's home, her father struggles to recognise her. They'd thought some time away in their isolated beach house might help the family bond, might return Laura to her old self. Revisiting the sinister territories of \u003cem\u003eWolf Lullaby\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eSplinter\u003c\/em\u003e reunites Bell's supreme atmospherics with another powerhouse performance from sister as a woman for whom a miracle becomes a nightmare. This claustrophobic chamber piece questions how well we know our families. Up close and intimate in the Stables, there's nowhere to hide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hilary Bell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1760622702\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781760622701\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Currency Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/06\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 62\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.39w x 0.17d","brand":"Hilary Bell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48440009228543,"sku":"9781760622701","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9040faf8-a9e3-4bf1-8267-6ff14ae6201a.jpg?v=1777180079","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/splinter-hilary-bell-9781760622701","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
