{"product_id":"books-the-stillest-day-by-josephine-hart","title":"The Stillest Day","description":"Bethesda Grant is an artist and a teacher. Her village life is order-ed and calm, until one day the sudden vision of a man's face sears itself onto her mind's eye, an imprint of sensual, hypnotic power. She begins to paint fragmented images of Mathew Pearson, secretly and obsessively. But Mathew Pearson has a wife, a small, laughing, preg-nant creature, whom Bethesda's mother befriends. On the stillest day Bethesda performs an act so bold and violent that it shatters all their lives - she performs a very bloody and risky emergency caesarean on Mathew's wife, using a piece of mirror glass, to deliver a baby daughter, leaving the mother dead. THE STILLEST DAY is an exquisitely taut and shocking novel about a young woman at the turn of the century who transgresses - both in life and in art - the limits set down for her.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53509212209425,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780099275336.jpg?v=1778157536","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/de-ch\/products\/books-the-stillest-day-by-josephine-hart","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
