{"product_id":"9781291336764","title":"VAGARIES OF SWING (Footprints on the Margate Sands of Time)","description":"The BBC TV series \"True Love\" was the catalyst for this tale, portraying various romantic encounters, all set by the Margate seaside. True love has many forms. A passion for cricket can also be a manifestation of love. Yet it is impossible to discuss cricket, with its broad themes, without reflecting on life itself. I have set my story broadly in 1965, when a girl lost her life. At the time, her death meant little to us but such are the vagaries of writing, that the more I researched the subject, the greater I became drawn in. Any discussion on the circumstances surrounding her murder led inevitably to the inclusion of another theme, which I have encountered in life, violence towards women.  I still return to Margate regularly and regard it with deep affection. It was in danger of becoming a wasteland. There are those now, some famous, some often unsung, trying to fashion a resurgence. Another form of true love. May their guardian angels help them succeed.","brand":"Mac Carty","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46213685444926,"sku":"9781291336764","price":372.22,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9781291336764_0b07cc61-ecea-4395-bde8-d027ab2d4b87.jpg?v=1707431123","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9781291336764","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
