{"product_id":"9780143198246","title":"Fifth Business","description":"Ramsay is a man twice born, a man who has returned from the hell of the battle-grave at Passchendaele in World War I decorated with the Victoria Cross and destined to be caught in a no man's land where memory, history, and myth collide. As Ramsay tells his story, it begins to seem that from boyhood, he has exerted a perhaps mystical, perhaps pernicious, influence on those around him. His apparently innocent involvement in such innocuous events as the throwing of a snowball or the teaching of card tricks to a small boy in the end prove neither innocent nor innocuous. Fifth Business stands alone as a remarkable story told by a rational man who discovers that the marvelous is only another aspect of the real.","brand":"Robertson Davies (CA)","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":47089387634876,"sku":"9780143198246","price":22.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0694\/8559\/2764\/files\/BNCImageAPI_6a425739-184e-4b03-9f54-1766a7c0b279.jpg?v=1783709462","url":"https:\/\/wordsquirrelbooks.com\/products\/9780143198246","provider":"Word Squirrel Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
