{"product_id":"adult","title":"Adult","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn addictively gripping comingofage story about an allconsuming, insidious love affair between a college freshman and a mysterious older woman, from an unforgettable new voice in fictionEighteenyearold Natalie has just arrived at her first year of university in Toronto, leaving her remote, forested hometown for the big, impersonal city. Everyone she encounters seems to know exactly who they are. She reads advice listicles and watches videos online and thinks about how to fit in, how to really become someone, whoever that might be.And then she meets Nora, an older woman who takes an unexpected interest in her, and is drawn unstoppably into Noras orbit. She begins spending more and more of her time at Noras perfect, tidy home in her beautiful, quiet world. Natalie lies to her floormates about her absence, inventing a fake offcampus boyfriend, and carefully protects this sacred, adult relationship. This only deepens her obsession, even as she comes to suspect Nora is hiding something. As the secrets multiply and the intensity of the romance threatens to overwhelm her, Natalie realizes that the new, adult identity she had imagined for herself is far from the one shes actually coming to know.With atmospheric, electric prose that captures the anxiety and emotional intensity of young adulthood like never before, The Adult is about sex, yearning, poetry, and learning to free oneself from the expectations of others. Bronwyn Fischer is an immensely talented new writer to watch.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Algonquin Books","offers":[{"title":"Fischer, Bronwyn \/ paperback","offer_id":47846788923637,"sku":"DADAX164375629X","price":21.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/5804\/8501\/files\/81RGF7mCwlL.jpg?v=1773841919","url":"https:\/\/ergodebooks.com\/products\/adult","provider":"Ergodebooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
