{"product_id":"the-dry-heart","title":"The Dry Heart","description":"\u003cem\u003eThe Dry Heart\u003c\/em\u003e begins and ends with the matter-of-fact pronouncement: \"I shot him between the eyes.\" As the tale--a plunge into the chilly waters of loneliness, desperation, and bitterness--proceeds, the narrator's murder of her flighty husband takes on a certain logical inevitability. Stripped of any preciousness or sentimentality, Natalia Ginzburg's writing here is white-hot, tempered by rage. She transforms the unhappy tale of an ordinary dull marriage into a rich psychological thriller that seems to beg the question: why don't more wives kill their husbands?","brand":"Natalia Ginzburg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54461760274645,"sku":"BS-I6J-228787","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/7170\/2485\/files\/9780811228787-HD.jpg?v=1786210476","url":"https:\/\/www.acornbookshop.com\/products\/the-dry-heart","provider":"Acorn Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
