{"product_id":"books-mrs-osmond-by-john-banville","title":"Mrs. Osmond","description":"In \u003ci\u003eMrs. Osmond\u003c\/i\u003e, John Banville continues the story of Isabel Archer, the young protagonist of Henry James's beloved \u003ci\u003eThe Portrait of a Lady\u003c\/i\u003e. Eager but na ve, in James's novel Isabel comes into a large, unforeseen inheritance and marries the charming, penniless, and--as Isabel finds out too late--cruel and deceitful Gilbert Osmond. Here Banville imagines Isabel's second chapter telling the story of a woman reawakened by grief and the knowledge that she has been grievously wronged, and determined to resume her quest for freedom and independence. A masterly novel of betrayal, corruption, and moral ambiguity, \u003ci\u003eMrs. Osmond\u003c\/i\u003e would have thrilled James himself.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53509289607441,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781101972892.jpg?v=1778158705","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/books-mrs-osmond-by-john-banville","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
