{"product_id":"constance","title":"Constance","description":"The cool, beautiful Constance Schuyler lives alone in Manhattan in the early 1960s. At a literary party, she meets Sidney Klein, a professor of poetry twenty years her senior. Sidney is a single father with a poor marital record, and he pursues Constance with relentless determination. Eventually she surrenders, accepts his marriage proposal, and moves, with some dread, into his dark, book-filled apartment. She can't settle in. She's tortured by memories of the bitterly unhappy childhood she spent with her father in a dilapidated house upstate. When she learns devastating new information about that past, Constance's fragile psyche suffers a profound shock. Her marriage, already tottering, threatens to collapse completely. Frightened, desperate and alone, Constance makes a disastrous decision, then looks on as her world rapidly falls apart. Her only consolation, as the city swelters in an interminable heat wave, is the friendship of Sidney's son Howard, a strange, delicate child, not unlike Constance herself. The story of a marriage in crisis and a family haunted by trauma, \"Constance\" is also a tale of resilience and loyalty, and of the moral inspiration that can lead even the most lost of souls back to the light.","brand":"Thryft Singapore","offers":[{"title":"Like New","offer_id":50579616563481,"sku":"PS3563.C3663.C66 2013","price":7.9,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":50579616596249,"sku":"PS3563.C3663.C66 2013","price":6.9,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Good","offer_id":50579616629017,"sku":"PS3563.C3663.C66 2013","price":5.9,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Well Read","offer_id":50579616661785,"sku":"PS3563.C3663.C66 2013","price":5.9,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0110\/0598\/4849\/files\/18316178.jpg?v=1742820286","url":"https:\/\/thryft.sbs\/products\/constance","provider":"Thryft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
