{"product_id":"9781908643681","title":"Little Crackers","description":"Longlisted for the Edge Hill and Frank O'Connor Short Story awards 2015. A mother struggles to bond with her newborn baby; a student obsesses about flies spreading their killer germs; a young boy dreads the bullies who torment him. People can look ‘normal’, but appearances often mask a darker inner reality. Inspired by the author’s experiences as a nurse over the last thirty years, and written with compassion and a wild imagination, Little Crackers opens a world of strange characters – the paranoid, the isolated, the exploited and the wicked – and raises questions about how we care for the most vulnerable members of our society. Obsession, dementia, post-natal depression, psychosis and even murder all feature in this quirky, surprising Tales of the Unexpected for the 21st century.","brand":"Beda Higgins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47708462580030,"sku":"9781908643681","price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9781908643681_f67ed72f-b48b-4b06-bf63-f9ee9e3ea6c3.jpg?v=1707644762","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9781908643681","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
