{"product_id":"9780857528889","title":"The Elements","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn  The Elements,  John Boyne has created a vivid kaleidoscope to reflect that contradiction: a quartet of intertwined narratives, each providing a different perspective on cause and effect from the points of view of the enabler, the accomplice, the perpetrator and the victim.\u003cbr\u003eFrom a mother on the run from her past, to a young football star on trial, a successful surgeon grappling with childhood trauma, and finally a father on a transformative journey with his son, the four strands weave together to form a tapestry of intersecting lives.\u003cbr\u003eBoyne's most ambitious work yet,  The Elements  is both an engrossing drama and a moving examination of the fault lines inherent to human experience. In crisp, spellbinding prose, he navigates a complex subject with extraordinar empathy and unflinching honesty, at every step challenging us to confront our own perceptions of who we are and what made us that way.\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+John+Boyne\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eJohn Boyne\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Elements+Series\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eElements Series\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"John Boyne,Elements Series","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47382983966883,"sku":"9780857528889","price":430.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9780857528889_f94f826c-f352-4358-8ac5-15d0b49d7b60.jpg?v=1776516469","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9780857528889","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
