{"product_id":"lost-on-me","title":"Lost on Me","description":"\u003cp\u003eVero has grown up in Rome with her eccentric family: an omnipresent mother who is devoted to her own anxiety, a father ruled by hygienic and architectural obsessions, and a precocious genius brother at the centre of their attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs she becomes an adult, Vero's need to strike out on her own leads her into bizarre and comical situations: she tries (and fails) to run away to Paris at the age of fifteen; she moves into an unwitting older boyfriend's house after they have been together for less than a week; and she sets up a fraudulent (and wildly successful) street clothing stall to raise funds to go to Mexico. Most of all, she falls in love - repeatedly, dramatically, and often with the most unlikely and inappropriate of candidates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs she continues to plot escapades and her mother's relentless tracking methods and guilt-tripping mastery thwart her at every turn, it is no wonder that Vero becomes a writer - and a liar - inventing stories in a bid for her own sanity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eLost on Me\u003c\/i\u003e seductively explores the slippery relationship between deceitfulness and creativity (beginning with Vero's first artistic achievement: a painting she steals from a school classmate and successfully claims as her own). Deceptively simple, its tenderness is offset by moments of cool brutality.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Veronica Raimo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45000233254959,"sku":"9780349017679","price":599.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/6428\/9071\/files\/9780349017679.jpg?v=1772366617","url":"https:\/\/lunabooks.in\/products\/lost-on-me","provider":"Luna Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
