{"product_id":"9781250321930","title":"Western Lane","description":"Shortlisted for the 2023 Booker Prize A taut, enthralling first novel about grief, sisterhood, and a young athlete's struggle to transcend herself. Eleven-year-old Gopi has been playing squash since she was old enough to hold a racket. When her mother dies, her father enlists her in a quietly brutal training regimen, and the game becomes her world. Slowly, she grows apart from her sisters. Her life is reduced to the sport, guided by its rhythms: the serve, the volley, the drive, the shot and its echo. But on the court, she is not alone. She is with her pa. She is with Ged, a thirteen-year-old boy with his own formidable talent. She is with the players who have come before her. She is in awe. An indelible coming-of-age story, Chetna Maroo's first novel captures the ordinary and annihilates it with beauty. Western Lane is a valentine to innocence, to the closeness of sisterhood, to the strange ways we come to know ourselves and each other.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eChetna Maroo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003ePicador Paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eNov 21, 2023\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e160 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e125032193X\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9781250321930\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Picador Paper","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49397498577201,"sku":"9781250321930","price":18.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/files\/9781250321930_p0_v1_s600x595.jpg?v=1717353402","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9781250321930","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
