{"product_id":"the-evening-of-the-holiday-1","title":"The Evening of the Holiday","description":"In the words of Time magazine, \"A near perfect novel...a small masterpiece\" by the author of The Great Fire\n\nPassionate undercurrents sweep in and out of this eloquent novel about a love affair in a summer countryside in Italy and its inevitable end. It takes place in a setting of pastoral beauty during a time of celebration--a festival.\n\nSophie, half English, half Italian, meets Tancredi, an Italian who is separated from his wife and family. In telling the story of their love affair, Shirley Hazzard punctures the placid surface of polite Italian society to reveal the intense yearnings and surprising responses in sophisticated people caught up in emotions they do not always understand.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0312423268\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0312423268.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Hazzard, Shirley|Steegmuller, Shirley Hazzard|The Estate of Shirley Hazzard Steegmuller\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.
