Here we have a heroine to love, a story we can't let go of' Ann Patchett\nIt had always been my habit-- privately I felt it to be an ecstasy-- to enter, as into a mysterious vault, any public library.\n1930s New York is filling with Europe's ousted dreamers, turned overnight into refugees.\nRose Meadows, book-loving and orphaned at eighteen, takes a job as assistant to the eccentric Professor Mitwisser. Cast out from Berlin's elite, the Mitwisser family's household is chaotic and Rosie's fate there hangs on the arrival of the Mitwissers' mysterious benefactor, James A'Bair.\nInspired by the real Christopher Robin, James is the Bear Boy, the son of a famous children's author. Running from his own fame, James was boy adored by the world but has grown into a bitter man. It falls to Rosie to help them all resist James's reckless orbit.","brand":"Orion Publishing Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51284191248672,"sku":"9781474624039","price":8.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781474624039.jpg?v=1785385928","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/bear-boy-cynthia-ozick-9781474624039","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
