At the center of \u003ci\u003eDeception\u003c\/i\u003e are two adulterers in their hiding place. He is a middle-aged American writer named Philip, living in London, and she is an articulate, intelligent, well-educated Englishwoman compromised by a humiliating marriage to which, in her thirties, she is already nervously half-resigned. The book's action consists of conversation--mainly the lovers talking to each other before and after making love. That dialogue--sharp, rich, playful, inquiring, moving, as Hermione Lee writes, on a scale of pain from furious bafflement to stoic gaiety--is nearly all there is to this book, and all there needs to be.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49504258687249,"sku":"GOR001560177","price":14.58,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49790339416337,"sku":"CIN0671703749G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50348418498833,"sku":"GOR001404012","price":8.69,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50926146846993,"sku":"CIN0671703749VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":51327562121489,"sku":"CIN0671703749A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0671703749.jpg?v=1751392950","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-ie\/products\/deception-book-philip-roth-9780671703745","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
