{"product_id":"9781910695098","title":"Pond by Claire-Louise Bennett","description":"Feverish and forthright, Pond is an absorbing chronicle of the pitfalls and pleasures of a solitudinous life told by an unnamed woman living on the cusp of a coastal town. Broken bowls, belligerent cows, swanky aubergines, trembling moonrises and horrifying sunsets, the physical world depicted in these stories is unsettling yet intimately familiar and soon takes on a life of its own. Captivated by the stellar charms of seclusion but restless with desire, the woman's relationship with her surroundings becomes boundless and increasingly bewildering. Claire-Louise Bennett's startlingly original first collection slips effortlessly between worlds and is by turns darkly funny and deeply moving.;  184 pages; Published: 07\/10\/2015\u003cdiv class=\"goodreadr\" data-isbn=\"9781910695098\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Fitzcarraldo Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56457286844798,"sku":"9781910695098","price":19.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0913\/1298\/0350\/files\/9781910695098.jpg?v=1761336681","url":"https:\/\/it-book.co.uk\/products\/9781910695098","provider":"IT-Book","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
