{"product_id":"john-knowles-a-separate-peace-9781471152320","title":"A Separate Peace","description":"AS HEARD ON BBC RADIO 4 'A GOOD READ' 'A novel that made such a deep impression on me at sixteen that I can still conjure the atmosphere in my fifties: of yearning, infatuation mingled indistinguishably with envy, and remorse' Lionel Shriver An American coming-of-age tale during a period when the entire country was losing its innocence to the second world war. Set at a boys' boarding school in New England during the early years of World War II, A Separate Peace is a harrowing and luminous parable of the dark side of adolescence. Gene is a lonely, introverted intellectual. Phineas is a handsome, taunting, daredevil athlete. What happens between the two friends one summer, like the war itself, banishes the innocence of these boys and their world.","brand":"Simon + Schuster UK","offers":[{"title":"Used - very good","offer_id":53573784797526,"sku":"9781471152320-V","price":6.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Used - good","offer_id":53424029663574,"sku":"9781471152320-G","price":5.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9781471152320_1_ea1701dd-9c23-42f4-9c76-d7e043d37d98.jpg?v=1778004063","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/john-knowles-a-separate-peace-9781471152320","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
