{"product_id":"the-fifth-year","title":"The Fifth Year","description":"\u003cem\u003eThe Fifth Year\u003c\/em\u003e follows a five-year-old girl, Marili, through each season of a single year on her grandparents' farm in the mountains of Austria. Her grand-mother is a quiet, melancholic woman; her grandfather, with his calm, cheerful disposition, radiates warmth. Marili's parents have presumably died in the war, and she is left to discover--with curiosity, wonder, and fear--the beauty and darkness of a quiet pastoral life. Sinister elements lurk beneath the surface of \u003cem\u003eThe Fifth Year\u003c\/em\u003e, in Marili's dreams and fantasies, and this deceptively simple tale of childhood, told in effervescent and evocative prose, bubbles to life in Marlen Haushofer's inimitably alarming style.","brand":"New Directions Publishing Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48833677164749,"sku":"9780811239981","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0557\/1529\/9533\/files\/imageloader_1cd63883-e29c-4a1a-907a-e74fa5b9c8ab.jpg?v=1790892781","url":"https:\/\/booksatmidnight.com\/products\/the-fifth-year","provider":"Books At Midnight","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
