At once lyrical, sceptical and romantic, The Spell confirms Alan Hollinghurst as one of Britain's most important novelists.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51666634375456,"sku":"NEW0140286373","price":17.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71L-WDX8GcL.jpg?v=1778943035","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-spell-0140286373","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
