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.","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51943518732519,"sku":"9780307275257","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0449\/4075\/5096\/files\/imageloader_dadaa00f-6dae-4a6c-9c45-65ff7106c57b.jpg?v=1775324807","url":"https:\/\/arvidabookco.com\/products\/how-to-be-both","provider":"Arvida Book Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
