{"product_id":"revere-beach-boulevard","title":"Revere Beach Boulevard","description":"A novel both literary and suspenseful, Revere Beach Boulevard tells the story of a family that rallies around an errant son, even as a long-hidden secret that has touched all their lives comes to the surface. Peter Imbesalacqua has bent the rules and battled a gambling addiction for most of his adult life. Now, his real-estate business in shambles and his life in danger because of an unpaid debt, he spins at the center of a hurricane of love and risk. His parents, sister, and friends, all carrying their own secrets, find themselves drawn into the terrifying storm, each trying to do for Peter what he must ultimately do — or fail to do — for himself. Revere Beach Boulevard is a rich and heartfelt novel that looks deeply into the secret places in men's and women's hearts, places only great fiction can reveal.Richard Russo called it “a great novel—ambitious, heartfelt, generous, and oh-so-skilled.\" And, Washington Post Book World wrote, “Merullo invents a world that mirrors our world in all of its mystery. And he does it in language so happily inventive and precise and musical, and plots it so masterfully, that you are reluctant to emerge from his literary dream.\"\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0983313954\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0983313954.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Merullo, Roland\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43278576091197,"sku":"BVV.0983313954.VG","price":6.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/0983313954-0.jpg?v=1781646943","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/revere-beach-boulevard","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
