{"product_id":"9780393039559-secondhand-the-hide","title":"The Hide","description":"This early work by the Booker Prize-winning  author Barry Unsworth chronicles one of his  literary obsessions the corruption of innocence  and forms it into a compelling contemporary  narrative set in the rambling, overgrown grounds of an English estate. There, relying on his rich  sister Audrey's beneficence, Simon obsessively  digs a secret system of tunnels from which to  spy on others. When Josh, a good-looking  naif, becomes a gardener at Audrey's home, the two women of the household, Audrey and her  distant relative and housekeeper, Marion, find  Josh's strength and seeming innocence a potent  spell, and his response escalates unacknowledged tensions between them. Meanwhile, Simon, worried  about Josh, takes steps to prevent the exposure  of his underground labyrinth. The explosive  chemistry between the characters will eventually rip apart and rearrange all their lives.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48771292201179,"sku":"9780393039559-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/41e71beb-f795-4f90-a739-acfdd649571e.jpg?v=1778684901","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9780393039559-secondhand-the-hide","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
