{"product_id":"breathe-a-novel-2","title":"Breathe: A Novel","description":"A NOVEL OF LOVE AND LOSS FROM BESTSELLING AND\nPRIZEWINNING AUTHOR JOYCE CAROL OATES\nAmid a starkly beautiful but uncanny landscape in New\nMexico, a married couple from Cambridge, MA takes residency at a distinguished\nacademic institute. When the husband is stricken with a mysterious illness,\nmisdiagnosed at first, their lives are uprooted and husband and wife each\nembarks upon a nightmare journey. At\nthirty-seven, Michaela faces the terrifying prospect of widowhood - and the\nloss of Gerard, whose identity has greatly shaped her own.\n\nIn vividly depicted scenes of escalating suspense,\nMichaela cares desperately for Gerard in his final days as she comes to realize\nthat her love for her husband, however fierce and selfless, is not enough to\nsave him and that his death is beyond her comprehension. A love that refuses to be surrendered at\ndeath—is this the blessing of a unique married love, or a curse that must be\nexorcized?\n\nPart intimately detailed love story, part horror story\nrooted in real life, BREATHE is an exploration of hauntedness rooted in the\ndomesticity of marital love, as well as our determination both to be faithful to the\nbeloved and to survive the trauma of loss.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 006308547X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: RDV.006308547X.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Oates, Joyce Carol\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This book is in good condition with very minimal damage.
