{"product_id":"hampton-sisters-by-bernard-conners","title":"Hampton Sisters by Bernard Conners","description":"\u003cp\u003eBernard Conners joins company with the sequestered, eccentric, amiably self-indulged WASP establishment of Old Hampton, Long Island, in a riveting story of death and romance.  The sisters of the title are rich, beautiful, single, desirable, but the great shabby-genteel shorefront estate they inhabit reeks of murder and madness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLydia, the elder sister, an amateur ornithologist and gentle recluse, wears monogrammed sweaters and sensible shoes.  Emily, the younger, a star amateur tennis player and budding novelist, lives rakishly and divides her seductive attentions between her would-be publisher, and a handsome South Hampton lover, who doubles as a pediatrician in New York.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe action centers on Emily, whose amorous manipulations, take her and her lovers back and forth between the fast-paced publishing world of Manhattan and their leisurely, slightly atrophied country club in Old Hampton. In a construction as finely detailed as a diamond-encrusted Swiss watch — or a self-destructing Tinguely sculpture — the author keeps the reader in delightful suspense right to the bottom of the last page.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book Express","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43857047486538,"sku":"6895ax","price":9.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/9101\/8826\/files\/6895ax.jpg?v=1785119362","url":"https:\/\/www.bookexpress.nz\/products\/hampton-sisters-by-bernard-conners","provider":"Book Express","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
