{"product_id":"supporting-act","title":"Supporting Act","description":"The first novel in English from a major talent of European literature, feted by Katie Kitamura and Claire Messud. The social contract is non-negotiable. The woman must be a mother. The woman must be desirable. The woman must be a caregiver. When Anna gives birth, she surrenders completely to motherhood, reshaping her body, identity and purpose, shielding herself from the burden of her own desires. But as her marriage crumbles and her children grow independent, she needs a new role. An affair with an ageing writer, Ivan, offers her a new narrative, a way to rewrite herself. But no role lasts forever, and sooner or later Anna must confront the woman beneath the performance.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1916806082\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1916806082.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Smalley, Nichola|Lidbeck, Agnes\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: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
