She’s returned with her teenage son to live in the run-down house at the end of the lane, and—though she’s strangely guarded—Nayan can’t help but be drawn to her. He hasn’t risked love since losing his young family in a terrible accident twenty years ago.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the wake of the tragedy, Nayan’s labor union, long a cornerstone of his community, became the center of his life: a way for him to channel his energies into making the world a better—fairer, as he sees it—place. Now he’s decided to mount a run for the leadership. But his campaign pits him against a newcomer, Megha, who quickly proves to be a more formidable challenger than he anticipated.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs Nayan’s differences with Megha spin out of control, complicating the ideals he’s always held dear, he grows closer to Helen—and unknowingly barrels toward long-held secrets about how their pasts might be connected. Suddenly, much more is threatened than his chances of winning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn one sense a tragedy in the classic mold, tracing one man’s seemingly inexorable fall, \u003ci\u003eThe Spoiled Heart \u003c\/i\u003eis also an explosively contemporary story of how a few words or a single action—to one person careless, to another, charged—can trigger a cascade of unimaginable consequences. A vivid and multilayered exploration of the mysteries of the heart, how community is forged and broken, and the shattering impact of secrets and assumptions alike, it is a blazing achievement from one of Britain’s foremost living writers.","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46541950091519,"sku":"9780593656006","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780593656006_s600x595.jpg?v=1775595430","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780593656006","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
