{"product_id":"9781913867003","title":"Havana Year Zero","description":"\u003cp\u003eIt was as if we'd reached the minimum critical point of a mathematical curve. Imagine a parabola. Zero point down, at the bottom of an abyss. That's how low we sank.                       The year is 1993. Cuba is at the height of the Special Period, a widespread economic crisis following the collapse of the Soviet bloc.For Julia, a mathematics lecturer who hates teaching, this is Year Zero: the lowest possible point. But a way out appears: the search for a missing document that will prove the telephone was invented in Havana, secure her reputation, and give Cuba a purpose once more. What begins as an investigation into scientific history becomes a tangle of sex, friendship, family legacies, and the intricacies of how people find ways to survive in a country at its lowest ebb.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rye Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41184582860952,"sku":"9781913867003","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/1368\/0730\/products\/9781913867003.jpg?v=1635009014","url":"https:\/\/ryebooks.co.uk\/products\/9781913867003","provider":"Rye Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
