{"product_id":"9780099077800","title":"About My Father's Business","description":"\u003cp\u003eLillian Beckwith already has an enormous following for her books about life on a Hebridean Island. Now she takes us back to her childhood, to the years before the Second World War, when her father ran a small grocer's shop in a Cheshire town. It was typical of so many corner shops-the shops that are now more and njore becoming just a memory, overwhelmed by redevelopment and the march of the supermarket. The corner shop where customers were known, often friends, people, not just faces at a checkout point, where shopping was gossipy, unhurried. A shop full of remembered smells of childhood: soft soap, aniseed balls, bacon and tea. A shop that is brought to life by the acute, affectionate memories of the little girl who grew up in it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lillian Beckwith","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45002060890272,"sku":"9780099077800","price":4.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8637\/5072\/files\/9780099077800.jpg?v=1757264940","url":"https:\/\/rivendell-books.com\/products\/9780099077800","provider":"Rivendell Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
