In need of at least the basics, the hotel arranges for Fred – Infinity Beach’s charming and attentive “personal provider” – to visit her room. Behind him, he hauls a mysterious leather trunk. Inside are twenty-four small drawers, each containing a single item: a disposable camera, a swimsuit, a deck of cards, a matchbox.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs Bridget opens each drawer in turn, she is thrown back to her past self. But what lies behind that kind, attentive young man? And what is the secret of the trunk he brings with him? Can the small objects it contains help Bridget realise how she came to be the woman she is today – and what she might, still, become?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith its lyrical, fable-like voice, and its tightly controlled symbolism, \u003ci\u003eSmall Objects\u003c\/i\u003e would sit confidently on the shelf alongside works like \u003ci\u003eWeather\u003c\/i\u003e by Jenny Offill, \u003ci\u003eAssembly \u003c\/i\u003eby Natasha Brown, and \u003ci\u003eThe Book of Form and Emptiness\u003c\/i\u003e by Ruth Ozeki.","brand":"Simon and Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":60378483654942,"sku":"9798895153468","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/8436\/0222\/files\/9798895153468.jpg?v=1792445092","url":"https:\/\/shop.simonandschuster.com\/products\/9798895153468","provider":"Simon and Schuster","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
