{"product_id":"9781804272282","title":"City Like Water by Dorothy Tse","description":"The city you grew up in is gone, as if sunk to the bottom of the ocean. So much has vanished with it - counterfeit watches, streets echoing with the sound of stilettos, and even some of your classmates and teachers. Then the disappearances come closer to home. Your mother joins a housewives' protest over fake lotus roots only to be turned into a statue by the police. Your father is quietly absorbed into the enormous TV gifted by the government, reappearing in the background of soap operas. And didn't you once have a little sister, before she flew away? As the police go undercover and transform your neighbourhood into a violent labyrinth you can no longer navigate, where does this leave you? Lucid, nightmarish and indelible,?City Like Water?is a wondrous tale of a city not so different from your own.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56369212817781,"sku":"9781804272282","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781804272282.jpg?v=1763552526","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781804272282","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
