This rich, brilliantly written and highly original work about the struggles, ambitions and progress of a nineteen-year-old prostitute in Victorian England was hailed as \"a big, sexy, bravura novel\" by \u003cem\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/em\u003e. It has sold nearly half a million copies in the U.S. alone. In 2011, it was made into an acclaimed mini-series by the BBC, starring Romola Garai, Chris O'Dowd, Shirley Henderson, Richard E. Grant and Gillian Anderson.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFaber's new book, his first in thirteen years, is full of emotion and deep humanity. \u003cem\u003eThe Book of Strange New Things\u003c\/em\u003e is a mind-blowing work that fearlessly tackles the search for meaning in an unfathomable universe. It concerns Peter and Beatrice, whose marriage is tested when Peter travels as a missionary, spreading the Gospel to a faraway land, and Beatrice is left to deal with troubles at home. In the most extraordinary and spellbinding ways, it deals with faith-religious faith, to be sure, but also faith in oneself, faith in salvation and faith in those we love. Riveting, mysterious and eye-opening, Faber's latest novel is sure to be one of the most read and discussed books of 2014.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Faber, Michel","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":42463860752608,"sku":"9781443436069","price":20.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0330\/3125\/8248\/products\/BNCImageAPI_eb331d05-8156-4932-a34d-9890ad2dafb4.jpg?v=1645468480","url":"https:\/\/agricola-street-books.myshopify.com\/products\/9781443436069","provider":"Agricola Street Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
