{"product_id":"blood-kin-9780143114826","title":"Blood Kin","description":"Rarely does a debut novel attract the sweeping critical acclaim of Ceridwen Dovey's \u003ci\u003eBlood Kin\u003c\/i\u003e. Shortlisted for two prestigious awards, this tale centers around a military coup in an unnamed country, with characters who have no names or any identifying physical characteristics. Known simply as the ex-President's chef, barber, and portrait painter, these three men perform their mundane tasks and appear unaware of the atrocities of their employer's regime. But when the President is deposed, the trio are revealed as less than innocent. A deeply chilling yet sensual novel, \u003ci\u003eBlood Kin\u003c\/i\u003e illustrates Lord Acton's famous quip, \"Absolute power corrupts absolutely,\" and marks the beginning of an illustrious literary career.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780143114826\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.74h x 5.02w x 0.59d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/29\/2009 pg. 20\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Ceridwen Dovey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45483890409653,"sku":"9780143114826","price":18.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_f942c05d-956a-4c68-ac80-0f7c6a10538d.jpg?v=1749565699","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/blood-kin-9780143114826","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
