But nothing goes according to plan.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMelbourne, 1993. Martha is a lonely, frustrated lawyer. One night on impulse she stops at a strange pub in Fitzroy, The Cherrywood, for a bottle of wine.

Cherrywood brings to mind the delicate, witty, character-driven storytelling of Peter Carey's Oscar and Lucinda; the daring of David Mitchell's Cloud Atlas; and a dash of something unworldly a la The Shadow of the Wind - it is haunting, magical and a true original.","brand":"4th Estate AU","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53820386640214,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/jock-serong-cherrywood-9781460765357","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
