{"product_id":"fatherland-a-novel-2","title":"Fatherland: A Novel","description":"A tale of the American dream on the rocks. A legacy of broken promises, deceit, and perseverance against the backdrop of family commitment.\nMartin and Lora Brier, with three young children, possess all the trappings of a perfect life . . . except Martin is having yet another affair. Without warning, he abandons the family for his mistress and a new house on the other side of town.\nSet in a prosperous midwestern town in the 1950s, Fatherland is a story about the effect of convenient lies and discovered truths. While Martin’s abandonment throws up new difficulties for bewildered Lora, a housewife, who must now find a way to nurture and provide for herself and children, it unleashes a swirl of emotions in their daughter, Josie, who struggles to come to term with his absence. Fatherland follows Josie from this fateful event, across many decades and milestones and through the phases of her tenuous, emotionally fraught relationship with Martin―and the way she begins to move beyond their shared past.\nWritten in Victoria Shorr’s inimitable clean, spare prose, Fatherland is a powerful, layered novel of a family in the aftermath of deception.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1324117559\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1324117559.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Shorr, Victoria\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
