{"product_id":"a-stranger-city-9780349010496","title":"A Stranger City","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen a dead body is found in the Thames, caught in the chains of HMS Belfast, it begins a search for a missing woman and confirms a sense that in London a person can become invisible once outside their community - and that assumes they even have a community.  A policeman,a documentary film maker and an Irish nurse named Chrissie all respond to the death of the unknown woman in their own ways.  London is a place of random meetings, shifting relationships - and some, like Chrissie intersect with many.  The filmmaker and the policeman meanwhile have safe homes with wives - or do they?  An immigrant family speaks their own language only privately; they have managed to integrate - or have they?  The wonderful Linda Grant weaves a tale around ideas of home; how London can be a place of exile or expulsion, how home can be a physical place or an idea. How all our lives intersect and how coincidence or the randomness of birth place can decide how we live and with whom.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Virago Press Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42978458960038,"sku":"9780349010496","price":17.9,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0443\/8471\/4918\/products\/9780349010496.jpg?v=1656107559","url":"https:\/\/bookxcess.myshopify.com\/products\/a-stranger-city-9780349010496","provider":"Staging Site ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
