{"product_id":"9780008114893","title":"Sacrifice","description":"Best-selling author Joyce Carol Oates blends sexual violence, racism, brutality, and power in her latest incendiary novel.          When a fourteen-year-old girl is the alleged victim of a terrible act of racial violence, the incident shocks and galvanises her community, exacerbating the racial tension that has been simmering in this New Jersey town for decades.          Unfolding in a chorus of multiracial voices – from the police to the media to the victim and her family – which gather to reach a tense crescendo at the novel’s climax, THE SACRIFICE offers a shocking new understanding of power and oppression, innocence and guilt, truth and sensationalism, justice and retribution – and the primal decisions we make to protect those we love.          A chilling exploration of complex social, political, and moral themes, THE SACRIFICE is a major work of fiction from one of our most revered literary masters.","brand":"Joyce Carol Oates","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45715725680958,"sku":"9780008114893","price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9780008114893_3968761b-d4b1-436a-8eae-18ec72ad6227.jpg?v=1707205086","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9780008114893","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
