Not only have he and his wife traded bodies, but Elizabeth, living as Eli, has disappeared without a trace. What follows is Elis search across Europe and to America for his missing wife-and a roving, no-holds-barred exploration of gender and embodied experience.As Eli comes closer to finding Elizabeth-while learning to exist in her body-he begins to wonder what effect this metamorphosis will have on their relationship and how long he can maintain the illusion of living as someone he isnt. Will their new marriage wither completely? Or is this transformation the very thing Eli and Elizabeth need for their marriage to thrive?A rich, rewarding exploration of ambition and sacrifice, desire and loss, People Collide is a portrait of shared lives that shines a refreshing light on everything we thought we knew about love, sexuality, and the truth of who we are.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51530132980000,"sku":"NEW006328376X","price":13.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81rMv0-90dL.jpg?v=1777265773","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/people-collide-a-novel-006328376x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
