{"product_id":"2940169251692","title":"Portland Place: Secret Diary of a BBC Secretary","description":"Portland Place is the diary of Sarah Shaw for the year of 1971, which she recently uncovered whilst clearing out her loft. Working as a secretary for the BBC at the time, Sarah's diary describes the life of a suburban girl who certainly wasn't 'swinging' but who was, ironically, not only working on a cutting edge BBC survey on sex education but also in the throes of an unlikely affair with middle-aged, working-class, Irish lift attendant, Frank.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSarah talks humorously and frankly about what it was like to be a young, working woman at the time as well as life at the BBC during the 1970s and the difficulties of navigating her first romance. She is funny and self-effacing with a self-knowledge that only few attain. Her innocence and naivety are hugely charming and the diary forms a valuable snapshot of a time not so far away that is now lost to us.","brand":"Jaha Knight","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47104399016176,"sku":"2940169251692","price":26.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169251692_p0.jpg?v=1763676670","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169251692","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
