{"product_id":"9781805331551-retail-deep-river","title":"Deep River","description":"'Endo is one of the world's greatest novelists' - Washington Post A group of Japanese tourists journey to the sacred River Ganges, each on a secret personal pilgrimage. Widower Isobe mourns for the devoted wife he neglected; gentle children's writer Numanda seeks out the bird he believes saved his life; Kiguchi is haunted by his time as a soldier along the Highway of Death; and Mitsuko reconnects with the classmate she tempted away from the church and cruelly discarded.  At the softly lapping shores of the river - where the faithful come to bathe during their final moments - self-knowledge is sought and memories put to rest. Set against a rich backdrop of 90s India, Deep River is a beautifully moving story showing Endo at the height of his powers as a chronicler of religious experience.  Part of the Pushkin Press Classics series: timeless storytelling by icons of literature, hand-picked from around the globe.","brand":"Book Grocer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48900951965915,"sku":"9781805331551-RETAIL","price":21.24,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/ce367c8d-cee3-4873-8bcf-3b11eb99b36a_3b524b6c-93fd-4933-9437-e8cc3fc11571.jpg?v=1782228473","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781805331551-retail-deep-river","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
