{"product_id":"9781685892357","title":"A History of Heartache","description":"Loosely inspired by the 1996 heroin epidemic in the grittier suburbs of Dallas, this gripping collection of short stories - many published previously in leading literary journals - are intimate, honest, and character-driven, and don't shy away from difficult themes. From protagonists struggling with the effects of alcoholism and unemployment, to neo-Nazi skinheads in Dallas, to conspiracy theories, these various colourful characters are depicted with clear-eyed compassion, as well as moments of resilience and even humour, as they work their way to a transcendence of their current, very American, very Texan, situation.","brand":"Melville House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57090039972213,"sku":"9781685892357","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0289\/5334\/6096\/files\/9781685892357.jpg?v=1776776224","url":"https:\/\/goldenharebooks.com\/products\/9781685892357","provider":"Golden Hare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
