{"product_id":"sweet-agony-nancy-huston-9780375713668","title":"Sweet Agony","description":"On a snowy New England evening in a small college town, Sean Farrell-a hard-drinking, libidinous poet and professor-hosts a Thanksgiving dinner. The eleven guests include two fellow professors (one a novelist, the other also a poet), two of Sean's former lovers, his lawyer, his housepainter, and his baker. What none of them knows is that Sean is dying. This dinner could be his grand finale. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs food and drink flow, secrets are exposed, tragedies bared, and truths uncovered. \"Never could we have dreamed how rough adult life would be,\" one character thinks. Yet there is wit and laughter too, in a novel about mortality that is also a celebration of life. With each new book, it becomes increasingly clear that Nancy Huston is a writer of exceptional gifts. \u003cb\u003eSweet Agony\u003c\/b\u003e is another impressive performance from a writer whose eye is as sharp as her insight into the human condition is wise.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nancy Huston\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0375713662\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780375713668\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 01\/07\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 8.44w x 0.64d","brand":"Nancy Huston","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48991709298943,"sku":"9780375713668","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sweet-agony-nancy-huston-9780375713668","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
