Seamless [and] profound ... An unsettling and beautiful work.\" --\u003ci\u003eWall Street Journal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIs there a difference between memory and invention? That is the question that haunts Alexander Cleave as he reflects on his first, and perhaps only, love--an underage affair with his best friend's mother. When his stunted acting career is suddenly, inexplicably revived with a movie role playing a man who may not be who he claims, his young leading lady--famous and fragile--unwittingly gives him the opportunity to see, with startling clarity, the gap between the things he has done and the way he recalls them. Profoundly moving, Ancient Light is written with the depth of character, clarifying lyricism, and heart-wrenching humor that mark all of Man Booker Prize-winning author John Banville's extraordinary works.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Ancient Light | John Banville | Paperback | 9780307946928 | Used: Very Good | Fiction 1725695 (temp: 17)","offer_id":48310814802072,"sku":"1725695","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ancient Light | John Banville | Paperback | 9780307946928 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks C 1780858","offer_id":49948479717528,"sku":"1780858","price":11.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81VYvfEAWgL.jpg?v=1773155383","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/ancient-light","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
