In this startlingly inventive novel, Rosemary Nixon braids light and darkness into a narrative chain pulled exquisitely taut.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt; \u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Through Maggie and Brodie\u0026amp;#39;s shifting viewpoints, the isolating impenetrability of hospital life, the mediation of physics, music, and family, Nixon propels the reader into unmapped emotional terrain where a shell-shocked family grapples with the horror, joy, and mystery of impermanence. The result is a spellbinding tale, provocative for the emotions and the intellect.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;","brand":"Goose Lane Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":65420101976413,"sku":null,"price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/3893\/2573\/files\/747.jpg?v=1789466717","url":"https:\/\/shop.gazellebookservices.co.uk\/products\/9780864926524","provider":"Gazelle Book Services","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
