They were about the love of her life, my grandad, Stanley Burndred. I've never met him, he died long before I was born, but his drawings, paintings and ceramics have been in my life for as long as I can remember. Every wall of Nan's house would be decorated by his artworks and every windowsill bore his ceramic creations. Whenever we visited Nan in the Black Country I would study the ornaments and pictures, wondering who had made them. It wasn't until I wrote to Nan many years later, receiving in return beautiful handwritten letters detailing his life, that it became apparent that the work was his. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe letters were so beautiful I felt my nan's story had to be told. \u003ci\u003eStan and Nan \u003c\/i\u003eis the story of an ordinary couple and the people who loved them. The narrative follows their lives from Stan's working-class background, to his premature death, through to Nan's struggle to cope, and the perils of ageing. It is a memoir about the importance of family, and about death, love, living and human connection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jonathan Cape Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47776875708656,"sku":"9780224102537","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780224102537_p0.jpg?v=1763674605","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780224102537","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
