{"product_id":"the-apparition-john-wheatley-9780956734280","title":"The Apparition: A Staithes Encounter","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe story of The Apparition alternates between two time periods, 2010 and 1910-20. In 2010, the main character is ANNA. In 1910-20, the main character is CHRISTINA. The two narrative strands are linked by the village of Staithes, on the beautiful, rugged North Yorkshire coast.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnna has inherited a small 'fisherman's cottage in Staithes. In the middle of a divorce from a controlling husband, she visits occasionally at weekend to get away from things, to help maintain her sanity and to think. Her peaceful weekends are disturbed, however, by the increasing sense that there is a 'presence' in the cottage. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChristina Tasse is a young artist. Her potential has been recognised, and she now has the opportunity to work with her mentor, Charles Penner, some years older, as an apprentice, at Staithes. On the verge of womanhood, in Edwardian England, she is both excited and apprehensive about what lies ahead. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe two narratives finally merge when the apparition materialises and silently leads Anna to a special place along the cliffs near Staithes. As Christina paints, Anna looks at the scene, and the two share a kind of epiphany of self-realisation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Wheatley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0956734286\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780956734280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Silversea Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/09\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 106\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.22d","brand":"John Wheatley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48216519835903,"sku":"9780956734280","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_86ff2c35-0f29-4aed-b755-f45a4eb5feaa.jpg?v=1771991546","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-apparition-john-wheatley-9780956734280","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
