She's quickly drawn into the mystery of the text: Is it autobiography, fantasy or fraud? What's the significance of the recurring number 381? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn the story, the protagonist Fairly walks the Horned Road - a quest undertaken by youngsters in her village when they come of age. She is followed by the \"breathing man,\" a looming presence, dogging her heels every step of the way. Everything she was taught about her world is overturned. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFollowing Fairly's quest, Rowena comes to question her own choices, and a predictable life of curation becomes one of exploration, adventure and love. As both women's stories draw to a close, she realises it doesn't matter whether the story is true or not: as with the quest itself, it's the journey that matters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Solaris\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/11\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781837862375\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.44lbs","brand":"Aliya Whiteley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44916279214261,"sku":"9781837862375","price":14.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_847cdd8e-fc11-498c-ad0b-ef86eb76c74a.jpg?v=1734449750","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/three-eight-one-9781837862375","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
