{"product_id":"9781837860753","title":"Three Eight One by Aliya Whiteley","description":"In January 2314, Rowena Savalas - a curator of the vast archive of the twenty-first century's primitive internet - stumbles upon a story posted in the summer of 2024. She's quickly drawn into the mystery of the text: Is it autobiography, fantasy or fraud? What's the significance of the recurring number 381? In the story, the protagonist Fairly walks the Horned Road - a quest undertaken by youngsters in her village when they come of age. She is followed by the \"breathing man,\" a looming presence, dogging her heels every step of the way. Everything she was taught about her world is overturned.    Following Fairly's quest, Rowena comes to question her own choices, and a predictable life of curation becomes one of exploration, adventure and love. As both women's stories draw to a close, she realises it doesn't matter whether the story is true or not: as with the quest itself, it's the journey that matters.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43595601641650,"sku":"9781837860753","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/products\/9781837860753_5b137eeb-a44c-4ce5-b74f-1639793c89d0.jpg?v=1708773918","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781837860753","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
