{"product_id":"9781471187353","title":"Sweet Shop Owner","description":"FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF LAST ORDERS AND MOTHERING SUNDAY, reissued for the first time in Scribner For forty years, Willy Chapman has struck a strange but steadfast bargain between the two poles of his life: his beautiful but emotionally damaged wife and the sweet shop he runs on a south London high street. Devoted to each, he has maintained a delicate, precarious balance. Now, on a hot summer’s day, he attempts to settle his final accounts and reach an understanding with a third, disruptive element in his reckoning: his angry, unforgiving daughter. Spanning five decades and intricately exploring a doomed family triangle, Graham Swift’s first novel already shows the historical scope combined with intense intimacy that will characterise his work.‘A marvellous first novel’ New Statesman‘Brilliantly chronicled’ The Spectator","brand":"Graham Swift","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46777751437630,"sku":"9781471187353","price":278.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9781471187353_95395e60-169c-477e-b893-1b8be4b7e4ab.jpg?v=1707477686","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9781471187353","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
