That is, until the reign of The Mortician begins, unleashing unimaginable horrors that bring his childhood idyll to an end. Narrowly escaping the violent fate visited on so many of his fellow citizens, he and his brother follow their parents into exile in the United States where they must start a new life. But as he grows, he never feels at home, and leaves his family to travel across Europe and outrun the ghosts of the past.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA searing novel of a life lived in the shadow of history, \u003ci\u003eThe Delicate Beast\u003c\/i\u003e portrays the persistent, pernicious legacy of political violence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781954276369\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e height: 208 mm, length: 138 mm, width: 30 mm, weight: 476 g\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e en\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roger Celestin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53794821931315,"sku":"9781954276369","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/3636\/7411\/files\/22231123482883.jpg?v=1785905614","url":"https:\/\/bookabaloo.com\/products\/the-delicate-beast","provider":"Bookabaloo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
