{"product_id":"9780143782490","title":"A Universe of One's Own","description":"\u003cp\u003eAntonia Hayes’ adventures in language began when, as a young child, she was a word sponge, soaking up speech and phrases and the sometimes haunted spaces in between. She became a natural bookworm, turning to the Baby-Sitters Club series to start a lifetime of finding friends and comfort in the pages of a book. When her debut novel, \u003ci\u003eRelativity\u003c\/i\u003e, was published, she again turned to literature for guidance and consolation, this time in the form of Virginia Woolf’s \u003ci\u003eA Room of One’s Own\u003c\/i\u003e. Woolf wished for financial independence and a room of one’s own in which to write, but Hayes, writing almost 90 years later, argues here that perhaps women writers need a whole universe of their own. Buoyed by hope and a lifetime of language, Hayes tells us how we can disturb the universe before \u003ci\u003eA Room of One’s Own \u003c\/i\u003eturns 100.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House Australia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47022351745264,"sku":"9780143782490","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780143782490_p0.jpg?v=1763657649","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780143782490","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
