{"product_id":"9780199831944","title":"Iris Murdoch, A Writer at War: Letters and Diaries, 1939-1945","description":"These never before published writings comprise Iris Murdoch's passionate wartime correspondence with two early intimates: the poet Frank Thompson, brother of the historian E.P. Thompson, who was killed in 1944, and David Hicks, with whom she had a dramatic affair, engagement, and breakup.  It also includes the journal that Murdoch kept as a touring actress during August of 1939. The selection sheds new light on a brilliant young mind (\"sharp and polished as a sword\" as Frances Wilson describes it), while painting a vivid picture of life during the Second World War.","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47110054740208,"sku":"9780199831944","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780199831944_p0.jpg?v=1763671697","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780199831944","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
