{"product_id":"books-women-and-children-first-by-alina-grabowski","title":"Women and Children First","description":"A gripping literary puzzle that unwinds the private lives of ten women as they confront tragedy in a small Massachusetts town.    Nashquitten, MA, is a decaying coastal enclave that not even tourist season can revive, full of locals who have run the town’s industries for generations. When a young woman dies at a house party, the circumstances around her death suspiciously unclear, the tight-knit community is shaken. As a mother grieves her daughter, a teacher her student, a best friend her confidante, the events around the tragedy become a lightning rod: blame is cast, secrets are buried deeper. Some are left to pick up the pieces, while others turn their backs, and all the while, a truth about that dreadful night begins to emerge.    Told through the eyes of ten local women, Grabowski’s Women and Children First is an exquisite portrait of grief and a powerful reminder of life’s interconnectedness. Touching on womanhood, class, and sexuality, ambition, disappointment, and tragedy, this novel is a stunning rendering of love and loss, and a bracing lesson from a phenomenal new literary talent that no one walks this earth alone.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53671155138833,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781911648819.jpg?v=1781514995","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-women-and-children-first-by-alina-grabowski","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
