{"product_id":"9781804270240","title":"The Private Lives of Trees - Alejandro Zambra","description":"Ver�nica is late, and Juli�n is increasingly convinced she won't ever come home. To pass the time, he improvises a story about trees to coax his stepdaughter, Daniela, to sleep. He has made a life as a literature professor, developing a novel about a man tending to a bonsai tree on the weekends. He is a narrator, an architect, a chronicler of other people's stories. But as the night stretches on before him, and the hours pass with no sign of Ver�nica, Juli�n finds himself caught up in the slipstream of the story of his life - of their lives together. What combination of desire and coincidence led them here, to this very night? What will the future - and possibly motherless - Daniela think of him and his stories? Why tell stories at all?���The Private Lives of Trees, Alejandro Zambra's second novel, now published in the UK for the first time in a revised translation by Megan McDowell, overflows with his signature wit and his gift for crafting short novels that manage to contain whole worlds.","brand":"Alejandro Zambra","offers":[{"title":"88 pages \/ 07\/02\/2023 \/ Romance","offer_id":57496533008759,"sku":"9781804270240","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9454\/1624\/files\/9781804270240.jpg?v=1790586275","url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9781804270240","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
