{"product_id":"the-book-of-homes","title":"The Book of Homes","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFrom prizewinning Italian author Andrea Bajani: the secrets of a man and his country as seen through the eyes of the homes that have guarded them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eA finalist for Italy’s prestigious Strega Prize, The Book of Homes is a remarkable achievement: a sprawling story that unfolds across much of Italy and yet that is told within the confines of the homes of its characters—and often from the point of view of the homes themselves: the many homes that shaped our main character named “I,” though the novel is in third-person; the home of I’s childhood companion, a turtle in her shell; the final homes of two figures whose murders shattered a country: a kidnapped, murdered politician; a poet dead in the street, run over by his own car. . . Both chilling and touching, The Book of Homes is an ambitious coming-of-age story unlike any other. One that jumps from home to home, upstairs to downstairs, decade to decade, and slowly reveals the blueprints—the puzzle pieces—to a life’s story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eExtraordinary, emotionally resonant, and utterly unique, The Book of Homes affirms Andrea Bajani’s status as a major force in contemporary international literature, and dares readers to consider what they’d be willing to give up in order to keep themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eAuthor: Andrea Bajani\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eTranslator: Elizabeth Harris\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003ePages: 268\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eDimensions: 8.5 in H | 5.5 in W | 1 in H\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eOn sale date: August 5, 2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003ePublisher: Deep Vellum Publishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Deep Vellum Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47942837469398,"sku":"9781646053810","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/6649\/7238\/files\/TheBookofHomes.jpg?v=1773529020","url":"https:\/\/telegraphhillbooks.com\/products\/the-book-of-homes","provider":"Telegraph Hill Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
