{"product_id":"bannister-ilona-five","title":"Bannister, Ilona - Five","description":"Five passengers. Five minutes until the next train … five minutes until someone dies.\n\nSomeone will die here this morning, at this suburban train station. It will happen in the next five minutes when the 7:06 to London Victoria arrives. On a train platform, five strangers unknowingly face a chilling countdown: one of them will die in five minutes.\n\nIn this gripping tale narrated with a sharp tongue, the five main characters – a child, a mother, a businessman, an old woman, and a gambler – will draw you in with their stories of fate, sacrifice, and the relationships we build and those we break. As the clock ticks down, we look away from the demonic child Gideon. We judge his mother Emma who must surely be to blame.\n\nWe are curiously compelled by the successful yet damaged businessman Liam. We pity the furious old Mrs Worth who grew up in a macabre household and failed at being a mother. And we fall in love with the beautiful Sonny who is on the verge of gambling his life away.\n\nFive stories. Five minutes until a life ends. Unfolding in real time, FIVE is a tense and intriguing drama that will have you on the edge of your seat, as you race to the end to find out who survives … and who dies.\n\n* * * * Praise for Ilona Bannister: 'Sharp, witty and thoughtful' The Sun ‘A furious and tender exploration of family and motherhood’ Pandora Sykes ‘Richly textured, populated by wonderfully observed, deftly drawn characters … Smart, brave and often very funny’ Sarah Haywood, bestselling author of The Cactus","brand":"Harper Collins Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":51047561658646,"sku":"RMX-62605","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7750\/2998\/files\/3cf3b5a41ad72859a7cc4b95b2f6200d.jpg?v=1771512491","url":"https:\/\/resident-music-uk.myshopify.com\/products\/bannister-ilona-five","provider":"Resident Music UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
