{"product_id":"9781035024735","title":"Whale Fall","description":"\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;It is 1938 and for Manod, a young woman living on a remote island off the coast of Wales, the world looks ready to end just as she is trying to imagine a future for herself. The ominous appearance of a beached whale on the islands shore, and rumours of submarines circling beneath the waves, have villagers steeling themselves for what\u0026amp;rsquo;s to come. Empty houses remind them of the men taken by the Great War, and of the difficulty of building a life in the islands harsh, salt-stung landscape.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;When two anthropologists from the mainland arrive, Manod sees in them a rare moment of opportunity to leave the island and discover the life she has been searching for. But, as she guides them across the island\u0026amp;rsquo;s cliffs, she becomes entangled in their relationship, and her imagined future begins to seem desperately out of reach.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;b\u0026gt;Elizabeth O\u0026amp;rsquo;Connor\u0026amp;rsquo;s beautiful, devastating debut \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;Whale Fall\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt; tells a story of longing and betrayal set against the backdrop of a world on the edge of great tumult.\u0026lt;\/b\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;","brand":"Rye Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45470646796509,"sku":"9781035024735","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/1368\/0730\/files\/9781035024735.jpg?v=1720189419","url":"https:\/\/ryebooks.co.uk\/products\/9781035024735","provider":"Rye Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
