There's a Renaissance artist of the 1460s. There's the child of a child of the 1960s. Two tales of love and injustice twist into a singular yarn where time gets timeless, structural gets playful, knowing gets mysterious, fictional gets real--and all life's givens get given a second chance. Passionate, compassionate, vitally inventive and scrupulously playful, Ali Smith's novels are like nothing else.\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ali Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10\/13\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.55 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.9\" H x 5.1\" L x 0.7\" W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780307275257\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kotton Kandy Skies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51737721962795,"sku":"9780307275257","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/2978\/5899\/files\/9780307275257.jpg?v=1774777736","url":"https:\/\/2trc11-eq.myshopify.com\/products\/how-to-be-both-ali-smith-paperback","provider":"Kotton Kandy Skies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
