{"product_id":"book-crm7","title":"Late Nights on Air","description":"\u003cb\u003eThe Scotiabank Giller Prize–winning novel from Elizabeth Hay.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Harry Boyd, a hard-bitten refugee from failure in Toronto television,  has returned to a small radio station in the Canadian North. There, in Yellowknife,  in the summer of 1975, he falls in love with a voice on air, though the real woman,  Dido Paris, is both a surprise and even more than he imagined. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Dido and Harry are  part of the cast of eccentric, utterly loveable characters, all transplants from  elsewhere, who form an unlikely group at the station. Their loves and longings, their  rivalries and entanglements, the stories of their pasts and what brought each of  them to the North, form the centre. One summer, on a canoe trip four of them make  into the Arctic wilderness (following in the steps of the legendary Englishman John  Hornby, who, along with his small party, starved to death in the barrens in 1927),  they find the balance of love shifting, much as the balance of power in the North  is being changed by the proposed Mackenzie Valley gas pipeline, which threatens to  displace Native people from their land.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith unforgettable  characters, vividly evoked settings, in this award–winning novel, Hay brings to bear her skewering  intelligence into the frailties of the human heart and her ability to tell a spellbinding  story. Written in gorgeous prose, laced with dark humour, \u003ci\u003eLate Nights on Air \u003c\/i\u003eis Hay’s most seductive and accomplished novel yet.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49330543165744,"sku":"BDcrm7","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/418084-crm7-Square.jpg?v=1733783072","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-crm7","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
