And when Bern—the enigmatic, restless gravitational center of the group—commits a brutal act of revenge, not even a final pilgrimage to the edge of the world will be enough to bring back those perfect, golden hours in the shadow of the olive trees.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn unforgettable story of enduring love, the bonds between men, and the all-too-human search for meaning, \u003ci\u003eHeaven and Earth\u003c\/i\u003e is Paolo Giordano at his best: an author capable of unveiling the depths of the human soul, who has now given us the old-fashioned pleasure of a big, sprawling novel in which to lose ourselves.","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43380520452351,"sku":"9781984877338","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781984877338_s600x595.jpg?v=1777307099","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781984877338","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
