Stripped of any preciousness or sentimentality, Natalia Ginzburg's writing here is white-hot, tempered by rage. She transforms the unhappy tale of an ordinary dull marriage into a rich psychological thriller that seems to beg the question: why don't more wives kill their husbands?\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"New Directions","offers":[{"title":"The Dry Heart | Natalia Ginzburg | Paperback | 9780811228787 | New | Fiction 1716101","offer_id":50777864077570,"sku":"1716101","price":40.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/51XeC3DPmxL.jpg?v=1792168109","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/the-dry-heart","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
