{"product_id":"dear-husband","title":"Dear Husband","description":"With the unflinching candour and sympathy for which Joyce Carol Oates is celebrated, the 14 stories of \"Dear Husband\", examine the intimate lives of contemporary: the tangled ties between generations, the desperation - and the covert, radiant happiness - of loving more than one is loved in return. A passionate bond between an adolescent son and mother has unexpected consequences. A woman is forced to realise, decades later, her childhood role in the destruction of a famous, beloved grandfather's life. A man tries to break free of the enthralling and dangerous erotic obsession of his life. In the gripping title story, Oates boldly reimagines the true-crime story of Andrea Yates, the Texas mother who drowned her children in 2001. Several stories take a less tragic turn, exploring with mordant humour the shadowy interstices between self-awareness and delusion. Dramatic, intensely rendered, and always provocative, \"Dear Husband\", provides an unsettling and fascinating look into the mysterious heart of America.","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":57260195021144,"sku":"9780061704321","price":17.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780061704321.jpg?v=1778379372","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/dear-husband","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
