{"product_id":"the-men-1","title":"The Men","description":"*Selected for 2022 previews by the Observer, the Guardian, the Daily Mail, \u0026amp; the Irish Times*\n\n'Intriguingly strange' The Bookseller, Editor's Choice\n\nIn a single moment, in every part of the world, every person with an Y chromosome vanishes: lovers, children, parents - even foetuses from the womb.\n\nJane Pearson wakes on a mountainside the next morning to find her husband and son missing from their tent. Frantic and grieving, she sets out to find the one person she thinks can help - Evangelyne Moreau, the brilliant, charismatic leader of the Commensalist Party of America, whose heart she broke many years before.\n\nWhile Jane searches for those she has lost, a radically different society emerges, one that seems - at first - to be suddenly, blissfully safer than what came before. And then The Men appears online: uncanny video footage that shows the missing being herded through bizarre, otherworldly landscapes. Is it a hoax, or could The Men hold the key to bringing back those who were lost? And if so, what might be the cost?\n\nFrom the author of The Heavens, The Men is a gripping, beautiful, and disquieting novel of impossible sacrifices that asks: what might we be prepared to give up to create a better world?","brand":"smeikalbooks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40739271770197,"sku":"9781783787821N","price":5.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2481\/5790\/files\/fd22857e-9260-4f7c-be16-6b2891c21202.jpg?v=1702312349","url":"https:\/\/smeikalbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-men-1","provider":"smeikalbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
