{"product_id":"9781408833612","title":"Canvey Island","description":"It is 1953 in Canvey Island. Len and Violet are at a dance. Violet's husband George sits and watches them sway and glide across the dance floor, his mind far away, trapped by a war that ended nearly ten years ago. Meanwhile, at home, a storm rages and Len's wife Lily and his young son Martin fight for their lives in the raging black torrent. The night ends in a tragedy that will reverberate through their lives. This poignant novel follows the family's fortunes from the austerity of the post-war years to Churchill's funeral, from Greenham Common to the onset of Thatcherism and beyond, eloquently capturing the very essence of a transforming England in the decades after the war. It is a triumph of understated emotion, a novel about growing up and growing old, about love, hope and reconciliation. \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47152931373296,"sku":"9781408833612","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781408833612_p0.jpg?v=1763720815","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781408833612","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
