{"product_id":"the-lake-9781913640521","title":"The Lake","description":"A dystopian page-turner about the coming of age of a young hero, which won the 2017 EU Prize for Literature. A fishing village at the end of the world. A lake that is drying up and, ominously, pushing out its banks. The men have vodka, the women troubles, the children eczema to scratch at. Born into this unforgiving environment, Nami, a young boy, embarks on a journey with nothing but a bundle of nerves, a coat that was once his grandfather's, and the vague idea of searching for his mother, who disappeared from his life at a young age. To uncover the greatest mystery of his life, he must sail across and walk around the lake, and finally dive to its bottom. \u003ci\u003eThe Lake\u003c\/i\u003e is a raw account of life in a devastated land and the harsh, primitive circumstances under which people fight to survive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Parthian\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/11\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781913640521\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 186","brand":"Alex Zucker, Bianca Bellov\u0026#225;","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42370579693749,"sku":"9781913640521","price":11.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_36c025ce-2ca4-4da7-a6c1-ea5dea6865f2.jpg?v=1663040458","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-lake-9781913640521","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
