{"product_id":"the-islands-william-wall-9780822966265","title":"The Islands: Six Fictions","description":"\u003cb\u003eWilliam Wall is the first international winner of the Drue Heinz Literature Prize.\u003c\/b\u003e In this collection of interconnected stories, the beautiful and ravaging forces of sea and land collide with the forces of human nature, through isolation and family, love and loss, madness and revelation. The stories follow the lives of two sisters and the people who come and go in their lives, much like the tides. Dominated by the tragic loss of a third sister at a young age, their family spirals out of control. We witness three stages of the sisters' lives, each taking place on an island--in southwest Ireland, southern England, and the Bay of Naples. Beautifully and sparsely written, the stories deeply evoke landscape and character, and are suffused with a keen eye for detail and metaphor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Wall\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822966263\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822966265\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pittsburgh Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/25\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.10w x 0.40d","brand":"William Wall","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43990791782655,"sku":"9780822966265","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5dda9704-13bb-49ab-8215-ddbe7e9bbaba.jpg?v=1683306709","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-islands-william-wall-9780822966265","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
