{"product_id":"sundown-yellow-moon-larry-watson-9780375758539","title":"Sundown, Yellow Moon","description":"Forty years after the suicide of his best friend's father, a writer revisits the tragedy and tries to unravel the mystery behind one man's inexplicable actions on that icy January day in 1961. Through his own recollections and his fiction-sometimes impossible to separate-he attempts to make sense of a senseless act and, in the process, to examine his youth, his connection to his best friend, Gene, and the enigma of Marie, a beautiful girl whose heart once belonged to both of them and whose spell still lingers through the decades. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSpare, haunting, lyrical, \u003ci\u003eSundown, Yellow Moon\u003c\/i\u003e is a piercing study of love and betrayal, grief and desire, youth and remembrance.
