{"product_id":"melmoth-9780062856425b","title":"Melmoth","description":"For centuries, the mysterious dark-robed figure has roamed the globe, searching for those whose complicity and cowardice have fed into the rapids of history’s darkest waters - and now, in Sarah Perry’s breathtaking follow-up to The Essex Serpent, it is heading in our direction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt has been years since Helen Franklin left England. In Prague, working as a translator, she has found a home of sorts - or, at least, refuge. That changes when her friend Karel discovers a mysterious letter in the library, a strange confession and a curious warning that speaks of Melmoth the Witness, a dark legend found in obscure fairy tales and antique village lore. As such superstition has it, Melmoth travels through the ages, dooming those she persuades to join her to a damnation of timeless, itinerant solitude. To Helen it all seems the stuff of unenlightened fantasy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut, unaware, as she wanders the cobblestone streets Helen is being watched. And then Karel disappears. . . .","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42826936287312,"sku":"9780062856425B","price":10.49,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8173\/5760\/files\/9780062856425-l.jpg?v=1785908128","url":"https:\/\/bookoutlet.com\/en-ca\/products\/melmoth-9780062856425b","provider":"Book Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
