{"product_id":"the-scrap-run","title":"THE SCRAP RUN","description":"\u003cp\u003eMacDonald Anderson is an Oscar-nominated screenwriter. Despite an ostensibly happy marriage, his secret, hard-drinking, adulterous character is about to be revealed.\u003cbr\u003e\nHis wife Helen is a devout Buddhist in the face of MacÕs secular, world-weary cynicism, and the near-celibacy of his marriage leaves him out on a limb.\u003cbr\u003e\nYet Helen dies in a car crash. Burnt out and consumed by guilt, he meets a bizarre shipping magnate, Thomas Lovelock, who offers him the ultimate sabbatical -  a voyage across the Pacific in old cargo ship, the Nadi, bound for the breakerÕs yards in India. \u003cbr\u003e\nThe arrival of two passengers en route, the beautiful French-Canadian oceanographer, Gabrielle Agnes, and the man-hungry novelist Oriel Lynton, presents Mac with the challenge of honouring Helen's memory and supressing his  basic instincts. Yet what lies at the end of this odd voyage is a destination which even Mac's wild, cinematic imagination could never conjure up.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksWholesale","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44233955147937,"sku":"9780955452529","price":38.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0462\/1120\/3233\/files\/145jj7wv-front-shortedge-384.jpg?v=1713725956","url":"https:\/\/bookswholesale.myshopify.com\/products\/the-scrap-run","provider":"BooksWholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
