{"product_id":"seven-years-9781590513941","title":"Seven Years","description":"Alex has spent the majority of his adult life between two very different women--and he can't make up his mind. Sonia, his wife and business partner, is everything a man would want. Intelligent, gorgeous, charming, and ambitious, she worked tirelessly alongside him to open their architecture firm and to build a life of luxury. But when the seven-year itch sets in, their exhaustion at working long hours coupled with their failed attempts at starting a family get the best of them. Alex soon finds himself kindling an affair with his college lover, Ivona. The young Polish woman who worked in a Catholic mission is the polar opposite of Sonia: dull, passive, taciturn, and plain. Despite having little in common with Ivona, Alex is inexplicably drawn to her while despising himself for it. Torn between his highbrow marriage and his lowbrow affair, Alex is stuck within a spiraling threesome. But when Ivona becomes pregnant, life takes an unexpected turn, and Alex is puzzled more than ever by the mysteries of his heart.\u003cbr\u003e Peter Stamm, one of Switzerland's most acclaimed writers, is at his best exploring the complexities of human relationships. \u003ci\u003eSeven Years \u003c\/i\u003eis a distinct, sobering, and bold novel about the impositions of happiness in the quest for love.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Other Press (NY)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/22\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781590513941\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.19h x 5.51w x 0.82d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2011 pg. 51\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2011 pg. 71\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/27\/2011 pg. 11\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/03\/2011 pg. 26\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew Yorker (The)\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/04\/2011 pg. 75\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/15\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/31\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/14\/2011 pg. 43\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNY Times Notable Bks of Year\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/04\/2011 pg. 25\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/28\/2011\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Peter Stamm","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45111866654901,"sku":"9781590513941","price":15.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_d6be1913-a84a-4ed0-a117-30396987a53b.jpg?v=1739887389","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/seven-years-9781590513941","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
