{"product_id":"9781804272152","title":"Twenty Minutes of Silence","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn a family home in the north of France, a crime has been committed. But a crime of what order? Who exactly is the victim and who, if anyone, is the criminal? In \u003cem\u003eTwenty Minutes of Silence\u003c\/em\u003e, Hélène Bessette unleashes a polyphonic investigation, multiplying perspectives, contradictions, questions and doubts. Everything in this high-octane drama is subject to change, including the lighting and the basic facts of the case. Composed in her signature poetic prose style, Bessette's novella builds a world punctured by startling disruptions and unexpected shifts, and in doing so destroys and remakes the crime novel, creating a form wholly new. Devastating and exuberant, \u003cem\u003eTwenty Minutes of Silence\u003c\/em\u003e is a vital interrogation of the powerlessness of childhood, the compromises of adulthood, and the conventions of the novel itself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bessette, Hélène","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58099321504118,"sku":"9781804272152","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1208\/4146\/files\/9781804272152.jpg?v=1781622001","url":"https:\/\/chepstowbooks.co.uk\/products\/9781804272152","provider":"Chepstow Books \u0026 Gifts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
