{"product_id":"blenheim-orchard","title":"Tim Pears: Blenheim Orchard [2007] paperback","description":"Ezra and Sheena Pepin live in Blenheim Orchard in North Oxford with their three children: fourteen-year-old Blaise entering the storm-world of adolescence, Hector, eleven and precociously clever, and sweet Louie, three years old and the family tyrant. Ezra, a benignly disaffected employee at Isis Water, has abandoned his calling as an anthropologist; Sheena has inadvertently found hers running a travel company. They are like everyone else: over-worked, worried about the children, trying to steer their marriage on an even keel. But change comes knocking at the Pepins' door. Ezra is asked to head a bold new campaign at his workplace that could jump-start his stagnant career; Sheena, in the meantime, decides to move the family to Brazil; and Blaise - restless and curious - takes her first, heady steps into the adult world of sex and desire. The Pepin family will never be quite the same again. Perceptive, thought-provoking, utterly compelling, \"Blenheim Orchard\" is human drama at its most powerful. It is also an acute portrait of the times we live in. Tim Pears is a skilled, observant and deeply humane writer - and he is writing at the top of his form.","brand":"Pears, Tim","offers":[{"title":"Good","offer_id":48090220265811,"sku":"XG80747588870","price":4.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/pears-tim-blenheim-orchard-xg80747588870-55722111992147.jpg?v=1728059524","url":"https:\/\/chaptersbookstore.com\/products\/blenheim-orchard","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
