{"product_id":"9781917378260","title":"The Bitter Water of the Lake","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the 1990s, Gaia's family moves from the neglected peripheries of Rome to an idyllic lakeside town in search of a new life that will lift them out of poverty. Each of them bears their own scars: Gaia's mother is fiercely determined to secure a better future for her children at any cost; her father, a once proud man, now suffers in bitter silence after a devastating accident; her anarchist older brother rebels against the political apathy he sees at home; and her young twin brothers wordlessly bear witness to a family in decay. When Gaia meets two local girls, Agata and Carlotta, the trio builds a fragile friendship. Gaia's encounters with callous boys and contemptuous teachers convince her that she might always be an outsider - excluded from a privileged life and beyond the possibility of happiness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Indigo Press","offers":[{"title":"Giulia \/ Caminito","offer_id":55767735337333,"sku":"9781917378260","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0289\/5334\/6096\/files\/9781917378260_1fcd4fb2-4429-4b45-ba25-2441e8988bd5.jpg?v=1763817127","url":"https:\/\/goldenharebooks.pro\/products\/9781917378260","provider":"Golden Hare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
