{"product_id":"an-experiment-in-love-a-novel","title":"An Experiment in Love: A Novel","description":"Named a Notable Book of the Year by The New York Times Book Review\n\nDouble Booker Prize-winning author Hilary Mantel's magnificent novel examines the pressures on women during the early days of contemporary feminism to excel―but not be too successful―in England's complex hierarchy of class and status.\n\nIt was the year after Chappaquiddick, and all spring Carmel McBain had watery dreams about the disaster. Now she, Karina, and Julianne were escaping the dreary English countryside for a London University hall of residence. Interspersing accounts of her current position as a university student with recollections of her childhood and an ever difficult relationship with her longtime schoolmate Karina, Carmel reflects on a generation of girls desiring the power of men, but fearful of abandoning what is expected and proper. When these bright but confused young women land in late 1960s London, they are confronted with a slew of new preoccupations―sex, politics, food, and fertility―and a pointless grotesque tragedy of their own.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0312426879\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: LFV.0312426879.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Mantel, Hilary\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book is in very good condition.
