{"product_id":"daydreams-of-angels-stories-9780374717889b","title":"Daydreams of Angels: Stories","description":"The fantastic has always been at the edges of Heather O’Neill’s work. In her bestselling novels, \u003ci\u003eLullabies for Little Criminals\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Girl Who Was Saturday Night\u003c\/i\u003e, she transforms the shabbiest streets of Montreal with her beautiful, freewheeling metaphors. She describes the smallest of things—a stray cat or a secondhand coat—with an intensity that makes them otherworldly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nIn \u003ci\u003eDaydreams of Angels\u003c\/i\u003e, O’Neill’s first collection of short stories, she gives free rein to her imaginative gifts. In “Swan Lake for Beginners,” generations of Nureyev clones live out their lives in a grand Soviet experiment. In “The Holy Dove Parade,” a teenage cult follower writes a letter to explain the motivation behind her crime. And in another tale, a grandmother reveals where babies come from: the beach, where young mothers-to-be hunt for infants in the surf. Each of these beguiling stories twists the beloved narratives of childhood—fairy tales, fables, Bible parables—to uncover the deepest truths of family life.","brand":"Farrar Straus Giroux","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42820643127376,"sku":"9780374717889B","price":10.49,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8173\/5760\/files\/9780374717889-l.jpg?v=1785880544","url":"https:\/\/bookoutlet.com\/en-ca\/products\/daydreams-of-angels-stories-9780374717889b","provider":"Book Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
