{"product_id":"gun-island-1","title":"Gun Island","description":"From the award-winning author of the bestselling epic Ibis trilogy comes a globetrotting, folkloric adventure novel about family and heritage. Bundook. Gun. A common word, but one that turns Deen Datta’s world upside down.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA dealer of rare books, Deen is used to a quiet life spent indoors, but as his once-solid beliefs begin to shift, he is forced to set out on an extraordinary journey; one that takes him from India to Los Angeles and Venice via a tangled route through the memories and experiences of those he meets along the way. There is Piya, a fellow Bengali-American who sets his journey in motion; Tipu, an entrepreneurial young man who opens Deen’s eyes to the realities of growing up in today’s world; Rafi, with his desperate attempt to help someone in need; and Cinta, an old friend who provides the missing link in the story they are all a part of. It is a journey that will upend everything he thought he knew about himself, about the Bengali legends of his childhood, and about the world around him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAmitav Ghosh’s Gun Island is a beautifully realized novel that effortlessly spans space and time. It is the story of a world on the brink, of increasing displacement and unstoppable transition. But it is also a story of hope, of a man whose faith in the world and the future is restored by two remarkable women.","brand":"bookshop.lol","offers":[{"title":"Thryft - Used (Like New)","offer_id":43310098284622,"sku":"9781473686670","price":14.9,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Thryft - Used (Very Good)","offer_id":43310098317390,"sku":"9781473686670","price":12.9,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Thryft - Used (Good)","offer_id":43310098350158,"sku":"9781473686670","price":11.9,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Thryft - Used (Well Read)","offer_id":43310098382926,"sku":"9781473686670","price":10.9,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/3857\/4926\/files\/52477508_1db5937f-92ed-4458-acc8-bfcaf1302386.jpg?v=1768174192","url":"https:\/\/bookshop.lol\/products\/gun-island-1","provider":"bookshop.lol","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
