{"product_id":"city-burning-book-angela-graham-9781781725917","title":"A City Burning","description":"The characters in Angela Graham’s stories, set in Wales, Northern Ireland and Italy, find themselves faced with a choice following something they have witnessed or done. They have come to a moment of change, which puts to the proof their beliefs or their idea of themselves. Some of these moments occur in mundane circumstances, others amidst tragedy or drama − urban violence, the Covid-19 pandemic, the tipping-point of a marriage. The characters find themselves confirmed or radicalised, and challenge or resist on one or other side of a political division or on the personal front of domestic tyranny. They include a watchful child, a gay priest, an estranged husband, an actress adrift and a young woman catching the tail-end of heartless urban mayhem. A City Burning examines power of all types, exploring conflicts between political allegiances; between autonomy and intimacy; emotional display and concealment. The result is a deeply human book full of hauntingly memorable characters and narratives.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49552462774545,"sku":"GOR011429422","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49740788236561,"sku":"NGR9781781725917","price":16.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1781725918.jpg?v=1750832939","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/city-burning-book-angela-graham-9781781725917","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
