{"product_id":"9780820374383","title":"A Desert between Two Seas : A Novel in Stories by A. Muia","description":"Set in the crumbling Spanish missions of nineteenth-century Baja California, this mythic novel in linked stories follows two grief-stricken people as haunted as the desolate chapels around them: a priest who caused the drowning of a native boy by compelling him to fish for pearls, and a deaf woman trying to outrun her murderous reputation as a pistolera. Though the stories span landscapes, villages, characters, and decades, the heart of the novel is Baja California itself-a stark land of cactus and creosote, of russet canyons and splintered wastes of rock-where people living in the shadow of ruined missions seek redemption on an inhospitable peninsula forsaken even by its priests.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56419617374581,"sku":"9780820374383","price":21.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780820374383","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
