Then, nine years after their bewildering breakup, Gonzalo reunites with his teen sweetheart, Carla, who is now, to his surprise, the mother of a young son, Vicente. Soon they form a happy sort-of family - a stepfamily, though no such word exists in their language.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn time, fate and ambition pull the lovers apart, but when it comes to love and poetry, what will be Gonzalo's legacy to his not-quite-stepson Vicente? Zambra chronicles with tenderness and insight the everyday moments - absurd, painful, sexy, sweet, profound - that constitute family life in this bold and brilliant new novel.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Far From The Madding Crowd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43924790182147,"sku":"9781783782901","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0404\/3207\/4914\/files\/9781783782901_68d4b17a-0474-46cf-ab37-d1fd9ba77136.jpg?v=1731347302","url":"https:\/\/www.maddingcrowdlinlithgow.pro\/products\/9781783782901","provider":"Far From The Madding Crowd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
