{"product_id":"the-pelican-child-by-joy-williams-9781805228578","title":"The Pelican Child","description":"Lauded as the best story writer of our time, Joy Williams returns with a taut collection that responds to our modern dilemmas with her signature dry wit and deftness of touch. In sinister and shifting landscapes, we meet souls lost and found: from the twin heiresses of a dirty industrial fortune, who must commit a violent act in recompense for their family's deeds, to a newly grown man who still revolves in a dreamscape of his childhood boarding-school innocence, to the \"pelican child\", who lives with the bony, ill-tempered Baba Yaga in a little hut on chicken legs.  For readers of Lorrie Moore, Mary Gaitskill and George Saunders, these haunted stories examine the instincts separating us from the beastly and the divine.","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47288969101548,"sku":"9781805228578","price":29.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/307c817d7290484f7f6d8e87bf7542da.jpg?v=1770602534","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/the-pelican-child-by-joy-williams-9781805228578","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
