However, I was careful in how I addressed sensitive topics such as life in a brothel and the physical ramifications of childbirth. The book is free of explicit scenes. My goal was to deal honestly with the emotional fallout from such difficult life experiences.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46458241417367,"sku":"9781949384031","price":1134.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781949384031.webp?v=1769184831","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/birth-of-magic-a-sun-blessed-trilogy-novella-9781949384031","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
