Stephie can't help herself--she's falling in love. As she navigates a sea of new emotions, she also grapples with what it means to be beholden to others, with her constant worry about what her parents are enduring back in Vienna, and with the menacing spread of Nazi idealogy, even in Sweden. In these troubled times, her true friends, Stephie discovers, are the ones she least expected.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32348665905218,"sku":"","price":450.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0263\/4884\/7170\/products\/9780385740401.jpg?v=1629532928","url":"https:\/\/koolskoolbookstore.com\/products\/the-lily-pond","provider":"KoolSkool The Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
