{"product_id":"books-a-perfectly-good-man-by-patrick-gale","title":"A Perfectly Good Man","description":"The new novel from Patrick Gale, author of Richard \u0026amp; Judy-bestseller `Notes from an Exhibition’, returning readers to his beloved Cornish coastline.             `Do you need me to pray for you now for a specific reason?’ `I’m going to die.’ `We’re all going to die. Does dying frighten you?’ `I mean I’m going to kill myself.’             When 20-year-old Lenny Barnes, paralysed in a rugby accident, commits suicide in the presence of Barnaby Johnson, the much-loved priest of a West Cornwall parish, the tragedy's reverberations open up the fault-lines between Barnaby and his nearest and dearest – the gulfs of unspoken sadness that separate them all. Across this web of relations scuttles Barnaby's repellent nemesis – a man as wicked as his prey is virtuous.             Returning us to the rugged Cornish landscape of `Notes from an Exhibition’, Patrick Gale lays bare the lives and the thoughts of a whole community and asks us: what does it mean to be good?","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53510584271121,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780007465088.jpg?v=1778177126","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-a-perfectly-good-man-by-patrick-gale","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
