{"product_id":"9780241665619","title":"Glyph","description":"\u003cp\u003eGhosts don't exist.  They don't. End of. Story, however.  It is haunting. Everything tells it.  It all starts when Petra and her little sister Patch hear a horrifying story from the past and find themselves making up a ghost. Is it imaginary? Is it real?Then it all starts again thirty years later when Petra, now estranged from Patch, finds a phantom horse kicking the furniture to pieces in her bedroom. What to do? She phones her sister.In a chiaroscuro dance through our increasingly antagonistic era, Glyph asks if we’re attending to the history that’s made us and to the history we’re making.  A funny, warm and clear-eyed take on where we are now, Glyph is about what our imaginations are for and how, in a broken, brutal and divided time, we rekindle care, solidarity, resistance and openness. This anti-war novel, Ali Smith’s most soulful, playful and vital yet, is a work of lightness that goes deep to counter the forces currently flattening the modern world.  A standalone novel, it’s family to Gliff (2024).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ali Smith","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52537534087486,"sku":"9780241665619","price":405.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/files\/9780241665619.jpg?v=1762784803","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9780241665619","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
