Taken together, the effect is like a shifting landscape seen from above, at once familiar and unspeakably profound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House Distribution","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46251261657324,"sku":"9780241526088","price":27.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780241526088.jpg?v=1741569967"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/louise-gluck.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
