{"product_id":"9781804298947","title":"Repetition : A Novel","description":"\u003cp\u003eAs winter approaches in Norway and the daylight dwindles, a chance encounter prompts a novelist to reexamine her past. The seismic events following her sixteenth birthday return with haunting vividness, exposing a story both utterly familiar and desperately strange.   It was the year she first got drunk, the year she first had sex with a boy. She was watched like a hawk by an anxious mother and a silent, distant father. It was a year of typical teenage fixation and typical teenage frivolity, and of all the usual parental fretting. Until something else took hold, and her family made an unspoken decision and a terrible sacrifice. Only now, decades later, can these events come close to being comprehended.   In Repetition, award-winning novelist Vigdis Hjorth explores through fiction the parts of childhood that chime through the decades.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Bookmonger","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":55420844474702,"sku":"9781804298947","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/5795\/6174\/files\/9781804298947.jpg?v=1772652076","url":"https:\/\/thebookmongerbearsden.co.uk\/products\/9781804298947","provider":"The Bookmonger","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
