{"product_id":"before-you-sleep-9780140298338","title":"Before You Sleep","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe acclaimed debut novel of passion and subtlety that links three generations of eccentric  formidable women.  Through the sublimely unreliable voice of its narrator  Karin  Before You Sleep reaches back from present day Oslo to 1930s Brooklyn to relate the emotional legacies of the Blom family. Karin is both playful and melancholya serial seductress who defines herself in contrast to the women in her life: her mother Anni  alluring  manipulative  and melodramatic; her sister Julie  a wife and mother nearly undone by suspicions of her husbands infidelity; her aunt Selma  the worlds angriest old woman; and her soldier grandmother June  who bets that Karin will be the best damn soldier of them all. Inventive and wise  funny and disquieting  Before You Sleep marks the arrival of a gifted new literary voice.  Ullmann creates such a powerful mood of intimacy here that the reader feels like a part of the family. Los Angeles Times  Ullmanns imagination . . . is formed by a love of the intricacies of family life  of the ties that bind.The New Yorker\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67931540684853,"sku":"ByrdShop_0140298339","price":68.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780140298338.jpg?v=1794214296","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/before-you-sleep-9780140298338","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
