{"product_id":"pastoral-care","title":"Pastoral Care","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn Pastoral Care, Auckland writer John Prins gives us nine clear-eyed, witty and beautifully written stories centred on daily life in twenty-first-century Aotearoa New Zealand. On the shores of Lake Pukaki; in kitchens, bedrooms and Lego-strewn living rooms; at school events; walking the dog, pushing a buggy, or stuck in traffic with a child kicking the back of the driver’s seat—Prins blends wry humour and emotional depth to illuminate the dark gulf between youthful dreams and the reality of adult obligations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrins reinvigorates the tradition of social realism in New Zealand short fiction, investing character, scene and dialogue with a distinctive, engaging voice. Often moving, frequently funny, and always relatable, Pastoral Care marks the arrival of a bold new voice in New Zealand fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paige's Book Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52068307927260,"sku":"9781991348104","price":35.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/8530\/6332\/files\/9781991348104.jpg?v=1784163481","url":"https:\/\/paigesbooks.com\/products\/pastoral-care","provider":"Paige's Book Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
