{"product_id":"2940173672193","title":"Driving Miss Smith: A Memoir of Linda Smith (Abridged)","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn February 2006 the comedian Linda Smith died from ovarian cancer. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOver the previous ten years Linda had established herself as one of the nation's funniest and best-loved comedians, voted the 'wittiest person alive'  by BBC Radio 4 listeners. As any regular listener will testify, Linda was an acerbic political commentator, but she also had an eye for the absurdities of modern life - an eye to rival Alan Bennett or Victoria Wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn DRIVING MISS SMITH, Warren Lakin, Linda's partner for twenty-three years, tells Linda's life story, of growing up in a town called Erith, which wasn't twinned with anywhere, 'but does have a suicide pact with Dagenham,' and of becoming a much-loved Radio 4 fixture. It is a witty and moving memoir, and although it ends sadly, it is ultimately a hopeful book and a fitting tribute to a life filled with warmth, courage and laughter. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e(P)2007 Hodder amp; Stoughton Audiobooks\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Octopus Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47099230060784,"sku":"2940173672193","price":10.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940173672193_p0.jpg?v=1763858594","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940173672193","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
