{"product_id":"the-adventures-of-miles-and-tom-gilling-9780802140197","title":"The Adventures of Miles and Isabel","description":"Selected by The New York Times as a Notable Book of the Year, Tom Gilling's novel opens in a crowded playhouse in 1856 Sydney, Australia, where two spectacular lives are about to start. During her scandalous turn as Hamlet, a heavily pregnant (and unmarried) actress unexpectedly goes into labor onstage, shocking the audience. Indeed, one patrician spectator -- who is also with child -- is so moved that she too goes into labor. The babies born that night are Miles and Isabel, two dreamers destined to defy convention -- and gravity. The Adventures of Miles and Isabel is a delightful novel set in rough-and-tumble, turn-of-the-century Sydney. A best-seller in Australia, it follows the strangely converging lives of these two young daredevils. United by a dream of flight -- and true love -- the couple attempts to rise above the obstacles of class and physics that stand in their way.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tom Gilling\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 080214019X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802140197\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grove Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/06\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.53lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.31h x 5.53w x 0.54d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/28\/2003 pg. 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKliatt\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2003 pg. 14","brand":"Tom Gilling","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46372315857151,"sku":"9780802140197","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ea5e95f9-acc4-4b7e-8b24-114a2e45e80a.jpg?v=1732725610","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-adventures-of-miles-and-tom-gilling-9780802140197","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
