{"product_id":"the-scenic-route-9780060784744","title":"The Scenic Route","description":"\u003cp\u003eDivorced, alone, and unexpectedly unemployed, Sylvia Landsman flees to Italy, where she meets Henry, a wistful, married, middle-aged expatriate. Taking off on a grand tour of Europe bankrolled with his wife's money, Henry and Sylvia follow a circuitous route around the continent--as Sylvia entertains Henry with stories of her peculiar family and her damaged friends, of dead ducks and Alma Mahler. Her narrative is a tapestry of remembrances and regrets...and her secret shame: a small, cowardly sin of omission. Yet when the opportunity arises for Sylvia and Henry to do something small but brave, the refrain \"if only\" returns to haunt her, leaving Sylvia with one more story of love lived and lost.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Binnie Kirshenbaum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ecco Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/12\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.44w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780060784744\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/15\/2009 pg. 95\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/16\/2009 pg. 36\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/15\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/2009 pg. 24\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eTime\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/13\/2009 pg. 58\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirshenbaum, Binnie:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBinnie Kirshenbaum is the author of \u003cem\u003eAn Almost Perfect Moment, On Mermaid Avenue, A Disturbance in One Place, Pure Poetry, Hester Among the Ruins, \u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eHistory on a Personal Note.\u003c\/em\u003e She is a professor at Columbia University's School of the Arts, where she is chair of the Graduate Writing Program.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ecco Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43099519778931,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":21.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_3c2705b6-debd-4eba-8db1-4695c50005b7.jpg?v=1748702819","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/the-scenic-route-9780060784744","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
