In `Reading Turgenev', which was shortlisted for the 1991 Booker Prize, an Irish country girl is trapped in a loveless marriage with an older man. But she finds unusual solace - in secret meetings with a man who shares her passion for Russian novels ...  The second story, `My House in Umbria' tells how romantic novelist Emily Delahunty helps the survivors of a bomb attack on a train and invents colourful pasts for her convalescent patients.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44114548654299,"sku":"9780140153729-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/products\/9780140153729-us-300.jpg?v=1684670369","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9780140153729-secondhand-two-lives-reading-turgenev-my-house-in-umbria","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
