{"title":"Jane Harris","description":"","products":[{"product_id":"as-observacoes","title":"The observations","description":"\"I loved it... I couldn't put it down.\" Elizabeth Gilbert, author of EAT, PRAY, LOVE Sex, ghosts, lies, and mystery. English author Jane Harris's debut novel weaves a powerful plot, a passionate and unusual relationship, and a narrator whose tireless search for truth is seductive. An unlikely heroine, with wide eyes, a cynicism, but undeniable tenderness. In Scotland in 1863, Bessy Buckley, a 15-year-old Irish girl, leaves a less-than-chaste past in Glasgow for a new life in Edinburgh as a castle maid. In THE NOTES, nothing is as it seems. Especially the beautiful lady of the mansion, Arabella, who soon realizes that Bessy lacks the necessary skills for the position. What makes her truly valuable is her ability to read and write. Arabella suggests Bessy keep a diary. Where she must record her most intimate thoughts, secrets, and even her most routine tasks. But Arabella also has secrets of her own, most of which revolve around her almost obsessive affection for Nora. Bessy's predecessor died under suspicious circumstances. Indulging her curiosity, Bessy makes an incredible discovery about her mistress and the servants before her. And she realizes she has fled from a difficult past straight into a disturbing present. In a childish attempt to vent her jealousy, she jeopardizes everything—and everyone—she has achieved in Edinburgh. Lost between her emotions and a past that comes back to haunt her, Bessy tries to remain loyal to Arabella. However, she cannot let go of the castle's greatest mystery: who is truly to blame for Nora's fate? THE OBSERVATIONS is a splendid account of Victorian daily life, whose tenor and period detail have led Jane Harris to be compared to Sarah Waters.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175031030012,"sku":"9788501078285","price":89.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/18f06eafc88e8681a59d907afe80f354.jpg?v=1778314519"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/collections\/jane-harris.oembed","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
