She succeeds, for a time, but her idyll is interrupted by an old friend's arrival and the hard demands of turning a profit. As the outside world invades in the form of pickers, contractors, neighbors, and pomologists, what had begun as a renunciation becomes a new obsession, consuming her much the way an apple might oxidize and rot. Painterly, strange, and razor-sharp, Hothouse Bloom announces Austyn Wohlers as a singular new talent in American fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Austyn Wohlers","offers":[{"title":"208 pages, Illustrations \/ 24\/09\/2026 \/ Modern \u0026 contemporary fiction (post c 1945)","offer_id":57416767897975,"sku":"9798885740883","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9454\/1624\/files\/9798885740883.jpg?v=1787936627","url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9798885740883","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
