{"product_id":"the-scenic-route-9780060784744","title":"The Scenic Route","description":"\u003cp\u003eDivorced, alone, and unexpectedly unemployed, Sylvia Landsman flees to Italy, where she meets Henry, a wistful, married, middle-aged expatriate. Taking off on a grand tour of Europe bankrolled with his wife's money, Henry and Sylvia follow a circuitous route around the continent--as Sylvia entertains Henry with stories of her peculiar family and her damaged friends, of dead ducks and Alma Mahler. Her narrative is a tapestry of remembrances and regrets...and her secret shame: a small, cowardly sin of omission. Yet when the opportunity arises for Sylvia and Henry to do something small but brave, the refrain \"if only\" returns to haunt her, leaving Sylvia with one more story of love lived and lost.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ecco Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/12\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780060784744\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.44w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/15\/2009 pg. 95\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/16\/2009 pg. 36\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/15\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/2009 pg. 24\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eTime\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/13\/2009 pg. 58\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Binnie Kirshenbaum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44240964845749,"sku":"9780060784744","price":15.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_df84d240-e73c-4832-99d0-46111fc62a6c.jpg?v=1717470165","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-scenic-route-9780060784744","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
