{"product_id":"this-is-happiness-9781526609366","title":"This Is Happiness","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe most enchanting novel youll read this year  from the acclaimed author of Man Booker-longlisted History of the Rain Change is coming to Faha  a small Irish parish that hasnt changed in a thousand years. For one thing  the rain is stopping. Nobody remembers when it started; rain on the western seaboard is a condition of living. But now - just as Father Coffey proclaims the coming of the electricity - the rain clouds are lifting. Seventeen-year-old Noel Crowe is idling in the unexpected sunshine when Christy makes his first entrance into Faha  bringing secrets he needs to atone for. Though he cant explain it  Noel knows right then: something has changed. As the people of Faha anticipate the endlessly procrastinated advent of the electricity  and Noel navigates his own coming-of-age and his fallings in and out of love  Christys past gradually comes to light  casting a new glow on a small world. Harking back to a simpler time  This Is Happiness is a tender portrait of a community - its idiosyncrasies and traditions  its paradoxes and kindnesses  its failures and triumphs - and a coming-of-age tale like no other. Luminous and lyrical  yet anchored by roots running deep into the earthy and everyday  it is about the power of stories: their invisible currents that run through all we do  writing and rewriting us  and the transforming light that they throw onto our world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45652150353973,"sku":"ByrdShop_1526609363","price":405.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781526609366.jpg?v=1781849561","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/this-is-happiness-9781526609366","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
