The lives of this trio - past   and present - are indelibly forged in the novel's stunning climax, which   combines a shocking act of violence in the present with a bizarre erotic   encounter from decades before.","brand":"Debolsillo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44213792506111,"sku":"9788466359252","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9788466359252_s600x595.jpg?v=1782322653","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9788466359252","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
