{"product_id":"elements-john-boyne-9780857528872","title":"Elements","description":"Human life is governed by the elements – water, earth, fire and air. They are fundamental to our existence. They sustain us, but they also challenge us.\nIn The Elements, John Boyne has created a vivid kaleidoscope to reflect that contradiction: a quartet of intertwined narratives, each providing a different perspective on cause and effect from the points of view of the enabler, the accomplice, the perpetrator and the victim.\nFrom a mother on the run from her past, to a young football star on trial, a successful surgeon grappling with childhood trauma, and finally a father on a transformative journey with his son, the four strands weave together to form a tapestry of intersecting lives.\nBoyne’s most ambitious work yet, The Elements is both an engrossing drama and a moving examination of the fault lines inherent to human experience. In crisp, spellbinding prose, he navigates a complex subject with extraordinary empathy and unflinching honesty, at every step challenging us to confront our own conceptions of who we are and what made us that way.","brand":"Transworld Publishers Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50734588592416,"sku":"9780857528872","price":17.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9780857528872.jpg?v=1785272157","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/elements-john-boyne-9780857528872","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
