George is enthralled by Cecil, and soon his sister, Daphne, is equally besotted by him. That weekend, Cecil writes a poem that, after he is killed in the Great War and his reputation burnished, will become a touchstone for a generation, a work recited by every schoolchild in England. Over time, a tragic love story is spun, even as other secrets lie buried--until, decades later, an ambitious biographer threatens to unearth them.","brand":"Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48833723826381,"sku":"9780307474346","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0557\/1529\/9533\/files\/imageloader_d775f702-0542-4c99-b1f0-5a752a1500f6.jpg?v=1790894470","url":"https:\/\/booksatmidnight.com\/products\/the-strangers-child","provider":"Books At Midnight","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
