Together, Aciman’s novellas form a complex portrait of desire, and of love realized and lost.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Macmillan Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46401551138989,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0577\/3364\/4461\/files\/9781250437891_faf72.jpg?v=1782137916","url":"https:\/\/underbrushbooks.com\/products\/room-on-the-sea-by-andre-aciman","provider":"Underbrush Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
