{"product_id":"monsieur-ouine-9780803261617","title":"Monsieur Ouine","description":"In a small village in northern France, Monsieur Ouine, a retired professor, is taken in by the dull local squire, Anthelme de N r is, and soon rules the life of both Anthelme and his wife, Ginette. A fourteen-year-old fatherless boy, Philippe Dorval, flees home and, on impulse, follows Madame de N r is to her ch teau. There the squire, who is dying, tells the boy that his father is actually alive and well--that despite what Philippe's mother had told him, his father had not died in World War I. The forsaken boy finds himself on that fatal evening succumbing to Monsieur Ouine's embrace after falling into a drunken sleep in the old professor's bed. The events of the tempestuous night lead to upheaval in the village the next morning, when, at dawn, a boy's body is found afloat in a stream near the ch teau.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bison Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803261617\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.46h x 5.53w x 0.62d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/14\/2000 pg. 176\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Georges Bernanos","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36643665936540,"sku":"9780803261617","price":18.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_90e70786-dbc9-41cd-8ac9-2fcb2d171e97.jpg?v=1603857047","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/monsieur-ouine-9780803261617","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
