{"product_id":"sugar-street","title":"Sugar Street","description":"'An original and fascinating concept that'll keep you hooked and turning the pages' Sunday Post 'Expertly done' The Times '[A] compelling, original novel' Independent  In Jonathan Dee's explosive novel, an unnamed male narrator has hit the road with a large sum of cash stashed under his car seat. Vigilantly avoiding security cameras, he drives until he meets a city where his past is unlikely to track him down. Renting a room from a less-than-stable landlady whose need for money outweighs her desire to ask questions, he seems to have escaped his former self. But can he?  In a story that moves with swift dark humour and insight, Dee takes us through his narrator's attempt to disavow his former life of privilege and enter a blameless new existence. Having opted out of his material possessions and human connections, the pillars of his new self - simplicity, kindness, and above all invisibility - grow shakier as he butts up against the daily lives of his neighbours in their politically divided working-class city.  Sugar Street is a risky, engrossing and visceral story about a white man trying to escape his own troubling footprint and start his life over.","brand":"smeikalbooks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40812661243989,"sku":"9781472151995N","price":11.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2481\/5790\/files\/fc9f18a3-9d45-4c5a-bd5d-b6ee9d51fcf8.jpg?v=1712744963","url":"https:\/\/smeikalbooks.co.uk\/en-us\/products\/sugar-street","provider":"smeikalbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
