A woman is sexually obsessed with the human heart; a lost, rotting baby crawls out of a backyard and into a bedroom; a pair of teenage girls can’t let go of their idol; an entire neighborhood is cursed to death when it fails to respond correctly to a moral dilemma.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWritten against the backdrop of contemporary Argentina, and with a resounding tenderness toward those in pain, in fear, and in limbo, \u003ci\u003eThe Dangers of Smoking in Bed \u003c\/i\u003eis Mariana Enriquez at her most sophisticated, and most chilling.","brand":"Enriquez, Mariana","offers":[{"title":"Hardback (Adult Fiction)","offer_id":44792155832544,"sku":"","price":21.6,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0330\/3125\/8248\/files\/BNCImageAPI_77b528f4-6b6d-4d22-a1c8-c7f16c850254.jpg?v=1708017235","url":"https:\/\/agricola-street-books.myshopify.com\/products\/the-dangers-of-smoking-in-bedbooks","provider":"Agricola Street Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
