{"product_id":"brother-bronte-by-fernando-a-flores-9781250419927","title":"Brother Brontë","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe year is 2038, and the formerly bustling town of Three Rivers, Texas, is a surreal wasteland. Under the authoritarian thumb of its tech industrialist mayor, Pablo Henry Crick, the town has outlawed reading and forced most of its mothers to work as indentured labourers at the Big Tex Fish Cannery, which poisons the atmosphere and lines Crick's pockets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eScraping by in this godforsaken landscape are best friends Proserpina and Neftalí. One of Three Rivers' last literate citizens, Neftalí hides and reads the books of the mysterious renegade author Jazzmin Monelle Rivas, whose last novel, \u003cem\u003eBrother Brontë\u003c\/em\u003e, is finally in Neftalí's possession. But after a series of increasingly violent atrocities committed by Crick's forces, Neftalí and Proserpina, with the help of a wounded Bengal tigress, three scheming triplets, and an underground network of rebel tías, rise up to reclaim their city—and in the process, unlock Rivas's connection to Three Rivers itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn adventure that only the acclaimed Fernando A. Flores could dream up, \u003cem\u003eBrother Brontë\u003c\/em\u003e is a mordant, gonzo romp through a ruined world that, in its dysfunction, tyranny, and disparity, feels uncannily like our own. With his most ambitious book yet, Flores once again bends what fiction can do, in the process crafting a moving and unforgettable story of perseverance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Macmillan Publishers New Zealand Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47550268178668,"sku":"9781250419927","price":50.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781250419927-brother-bront.jpg?v=1776800698","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/brother-bronte-by-fernando-a-flores-9781250419927","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
