I figured he was probably wrong about it being a year to the day, but I wasn't about to tell him that. \"A year is a long time,\" he said. \"A lot can happen in a year.\" In the company of classic coming-of-age works, Richard Zuras's debut novel tells the story of a boy's final year of childhood and a family's near disintegration. When Zain's father is fired from the CIA in March of 1980, it creates a tremor that threatens to upend the family's precarious balance. Zain's awakening to a world riddled with cracks and his adolescent attempts to mend them are the stuff from which young men, and great stories, are made.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 136\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.32 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 01, 2012\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42721953677375,"sku":"9780984958801","price":19.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/fe6a9665b09c47236e6b7ee026207449.webp?v=1765094119","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/the-bastard-year-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
