{"product_id":"landfall-book-helen-gordon-9780241954423","title":"Landfall","description":"For fans of Jeffrey Eugenides's The Virgin Suicides, Landfall is a clear-eyed, witty and warm debut novel by former Granta editor Helen Gordon, that marks the arrival of a major new literary talent.  Alice Robinson, art critic for a magazine so fashionable it's just gone out of business, finds herself agreeing to housesit for her parents. Moving back home to a suburbia she thought long behind her, she finds herself reconnecting with a different landscape, a fraught and painful past.  For everywhere Alice turns she finds traces of her sister, who went missing as a teenager. Can she stop her old life intruding on the present? Should she even try? What does Alice's new future look like?  'An intriguing novel . . . a hipster version of Margaret Atwood's Surfacing'  Metro  'A memorable novel.  I loved the pace and verve of Alice's voyage from Shoreditch to suburbia, and the unexpectedness of the story as it swerves past the familiar into a dangerous and beautiful unknown'  Helen Dunmore  'Compulsively readable'  Independent on Sunday  'Fine writing . . . wrapped in an arresting evocation of timelessness'  Guardian  'Brooding and haunting'  Tatler  'Uplifting, witty, wonderfully unsettling'  Psychologies  'Beautifully descriptive, with a cliff-hanger finale'  Easy Living  Helen Gordon was born in 1979 and grew up in Croydon. She currently lives in east London and is a former associate editor of Granta magazine. Landfall is her first novel.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49586019959057,"sku":"GOR004647054","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50577500864785,"sku":"GOR004391819","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52771253911825,"sku":"GOR007988711","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0241954428.jpg?v=1751443945","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/landfall-book-helen-gordon-9780241954423","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
