The photograph is in an envelope marked “DON'T OPEN— DESTROY.” But Kath's husband does not heed the warning, embarking on a journey of discovery that reveals a tight web of secrets—within marriages, between sisters, and at the heart of an affair. Kath, with her mesmerizing looks and casual ways, moves like a ghost through the memories of everyone who knew her— and a portrait emerges of a woman whose life cannot be understood without plumbing the emotional depths of the people she touched.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Propelled by the author's signature mastery of narrative and psychology, \u003ci\u003eThe Photograph\u003c\/i\u003e is Lively at her very best, the dazzling climax to all she has written before.\u003c\/p\u003e\nThe New York Times\n\u003cp\u003ePenelope Lively's engaging new novel, \u003ci\u003eThe Photograph\u003c\/i\u003e, is a testament to the virtues of lightness. Though her subject is not light -- it is in fact death, and the hold the dead have upon the living -- her method is subtraction, lightness, the quick, telling stroke. In this, her 13th novel, Lively, winner of numerous awards (including the Booker Prize for \u003ci\u003eMoon Tiger\u003c\/i\u003e), tempers sprightly enthusiasm with perfect command of the form. — \u003ci\u003eValerie Martin\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLiterature \u0026amp; Fiction\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre Fiction\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003ePsychological\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Used - Good","offer_id":46671081668798,"sku":"0142004421-4","price":12.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/81o7xVngQML.jpg?v=1776880570","url":"https:\/\/shop.sustainablebooks.com\/products\/0142004421-the_photograph","provider":"Sustainable Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
