{"product_id":"midsummer-9780156029650","title":"Midsummer","description":"A splendid Hudson River estate, complete with cook and rose garden. The landscape is inebriating, the women are in full, passionate bloom, and the men are incomprehensible. Susie-chic, smart, spacey, and no longer promiscuous- decides, at forty-five, to do what she would have done at twenty-five: invite a group of amusing friends to spend eight weekends of summer in stunning surroundings. The invitees include her oldest friend, Kay, elegantly nursing a broken heart; her former lover Dodge-still the sexiest man she knows; his randy, neurotic, comedian friend Ron; and Elise, an on-the-cusp artist determined to be in a relationship before she hits forty. Add to the mix Susie's very ardent, very surprising twenty-four-year-old son, and an exhibitionist au pair next door, and you have a delicious romantic farce that deftly slides into and out of something quite a bit darker. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Houghton Mifflin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/17\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780156029650\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 291\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.31h x 5.58w x 0.77d","brand":"Marcelle Clements","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51280553083061,"sku":"9780156029650","price":15.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_9c36fbe3-1bae-4409-be70-f14b92d564b4.jpg?v=1751467784","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/midsummer-9780156029650","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
