{"product_id":"9780771010057","title":"The Wren, The Wren","description":"\u003cb\u003eFrom Booker-prize winning author Anne Enright, an astonishing novel about the love between mother and daughter—sometimes fierce, often painful, but always transcendent.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"Carmel had been alone all her life. She had been alone since she was twelve years old. The baby knew all this. They looked at each other; one life into another life, and the baby knew exactly how alone her mother had been.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNell—funny, brave and so much loved—is a young woman with adventure on her mind. As she sets out into the world, she finds her family history hard to escape. For her mother, Carmel, Nell's leaving home opens a space in her heart, where the turmoil of a lifetime begins to churn. And across the generations falls the long shadow of Carmel's famous father, an Irish poet of beautiful words and brutal actions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a meditation on love: spiritual, romantic, darkly sexual or genetic. A generational saga that traces the inheritance not just of trauma but also of wonder, it is a testament to the glorious resilience of women in the face of promises false and true. Above all, it is an exploration of the love between mother and daughter - sometimes fierce, often painful, but always transcendent.","brand":"Anne Enright","offers":[{"title":"McClelland \u0026amp; Stewart |  Hardback  |  2023-09-12","offer_id":44227661693183,"sku":"9780771010057","price":34.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/files\/BNCImageAPI_b937bfa8-acc7-4531-9054-de8ec94e5a64.jpg?v=1692920906","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9780771010057","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
