{"product_id":"dreams-of-rescue-9780743436496","title":"Dreams of Rescue","description":"\"I have spent the winter at my summer place,\" begins the narrator of this startlingly original literary chiller. Juliana Durrell Smythe, known for her \"female in jeopardy\" performances on film, fears her roles are proving prophetic. As an actress, she is accustomed to rescue. In movies, \"Having known the comfort of muscled arms, I still expect, without reason, to be carried to safety and, ultimately, to be loved.\" But confined to her Victorian lake house, Juliana discovers the discrepancies between film and actual jeopardy. \"The police have not turned out to be kindly, potential lovers....\" She must walk the fault line of fiction and confront the mysterious and violent end of her marriage. An atmosphere of danger descends with the snow. The men who enter Juliana's life seem suspect; her predicament shadowed by the distress of her housecleaner. How much did she see? How much does she know? \u003cbr\u003e Haunted by her past roles and the history of her romantic home, built for a wedding in 1899, Juliana's marital mystery becomes entwined with that of the original Victorian bride's. To survive, she is compelled to connect a nineteenth-century disappearance to the contemporary despair of the lakeside resort. In a snowscape of dazzling beauty, Juliana must enact the role that will save or cost her own life. \u003cbr\u003e Plumbing the secrets of two centuries, Cunningham has written a hypnotic novel that will transport the reader into a brilliantly evoked world. With its hard-chiseled realities and incandescent images, \u003ci\u003eDreams of Rescue\u003c\/i\u003e is a new take on a classic form, that shatters convention and will entrance readers long after its stunning finale.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laura Shaine Cunningham\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Atria Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/30\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 358\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.26h x 5.32w x 1.01d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780743436496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLaura Shaine Cunningham\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eBeautiful Bodies, A Place in the Country, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSleeping Arrangements.\u003c\/i\u003e A playwright and journalist, she has been published in \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker, The Atlantic Monthly, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times.\u003c\/i\u003e She is a native New Yorke\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atria Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":41335647207539,"sku":"9.78074E+12","price":26.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_98a5e58b-0cb8-4bab-b560-910fb2c4675d.jpg?v=1707326715","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/dreams-of-rescue-9780743436496","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
