Liberal and like-minded, the friends have come to the countryside in the hope of restoring the bubble in which they have grown used to living. Moving through her days accompanied by a carefully curated salon, Eva Lindquist is a generous hostess with an obsession for decorating. Yet when, in her avidity to secure shelter for herself, she persuades her husband to buy a grand if dilapidated apartment in Venice, she unwittingly sets off the chain of events that will propel him to venture outside the bubble and embark on an unexpected love affair. A slyly comic look at the shelter industry, Shelter in Place is a novel about house and home, safety and freedom and the insidious ways in which political upheaval can undermine even the most seemingly impregnable foundations.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Used - good","offer_id":53584555082070,"sku":"9781408845950-G","price":6.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9781408845950_1.jpg?v=1778465294","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/david-leavitt-shelter-in-place-9781408845950","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
