{"product_id":"9780008253073","title":"The Hunters","description":"\u003cp\u003eSweeping, evocative and sumptuously told, The Hunters is a dramatic coming-of-age story, a complex portrayal of first love and family loyalty and a passionate reimagining of the Happy Valley set in all their glory and notoriety.\u003cbr\u003eTheo Miller is fourteen years old, bright and ambitious, when he steps off the train into the simmering heat and uproar of 1920s Nairobi. Neither he nor his earnest younger sister Maud, are prepared for the turbulent mix of joy and pain their new life in Kenya will bring.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTheir father is Director of Kenyan Railways, a role it is assumed Theo will inherit. But when he meets enchanting American heiress Sylvie de Croÿ and her charismatic, reckless companion, Freddie Hamilton, his aspirations turn in an instant.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSylvie and Freddie's charm is magnetic and Theo is welcomed into the heart of their inner circle: rich, glamourous expatriates, infamous for their hedonistic lifestyles. Yet behind their intoxicating allure lies a more powerful cocktail of lust, betrayal, deceit and violence that he realises he cannot avoid. As dark clouds gather over Kenya's future and his own, he must find a way back to his family - to Maud - before it is too late.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Kat+Gordon\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eKat Gordon\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Kat Gordon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47376669212835,"sku":"9780008253073","price":305.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9780008253073_8ad62f43-14ca-4d7d-a771-761afe18a817.jpg?v=1776448374","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9780008253073","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
