The Merry Month of May is not just a chronicle of political upheaval; it is a searing exploration of the \"sexual revolution\" and the disillusionment of the American expatriate community living in the heart of the storm.\n\nThe story centers on Harry Gallagher, a successful screenwriter whose comfortable life in Paris is shattered as the city ignites. While his son, Hill, joins the student radicals on the barricades with the reckless fervor of youth, Harry finds his own world coming apart at the seams. Caught between a tradition-obsessed past and an anarchic future, the Gallaghers must navigate a landscape of social quicksand where old loyalties are burned away in the street fires of the Left Bank.\n\nAs the cobblestones fly and the old guard falls, can the Gallaghers survive the collision between their private desires and the violent birth of a new era, or will they be the first casualties of the revolution?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48763143422171,"sku":"2026200005338-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/f1db82cf-f98d-4dc5-8878-8a725b9da8dd.png?v=1778499429","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200005338-secondhand-the-merry-month-of-may","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
