Her unconventional manner, including telling the children a fable about a princess and a dog, inspires both rumour and curiosity among the parents. When a young man with sharp canine teeth arrives at her home and declares he's here to stay, a romantic and sexual relationship develops that intrigues the community, with some harboring suspicions about the man's identity and motives. Masterfully subverting the rules of folklore and fable, The Bridegroom Was a Dog is a disarming and unforgettable modern classic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 184g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 203 x 138 x 13 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781803511320\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yoko Tawada","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":45911259709690,"sku":"9781803511320","price":9.27,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/1714765305689_book.jpg?v=1715413689","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-bridegroom-was-a-dog-9781803511320","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
