{"product_id":"9781786075079","title":"The Water Thief","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom the award-winning author of Ishmael's Oranges comes a searing novel with a profound moral conflict at its heart. When a heart attack kills his father, young architect Nick abandons his comfortable London life to volunteer abroad for a year - a last chance to prove himself, and atone for old sins. But in a remote village on the edge of the Sahara, dangerous currents soon engulf him: a simmering family conflict, hidden violence and dangerous fanaticism. An illicit attraction to his host's lonely wife soon threatens both of their worlds. But when a deadly drought descends it brings an irrevocable choice: should he take matters into his own hands? Or let fate run its course? His decision has life-changing consequences for them all.\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+Claire+Hajaj\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eClaire Hajaj\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Claire Hajaj","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47376987422883,"sku":"9781786075079","price":245.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9781786075079_9989bccf-d7b7-4146-9185-fc8951daa7de.jpg?v=1776590924","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9781786075079","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
