{"product_id":"books-walled-gardens-by-annabel-davis-goff","title":"Walled Gardens","description":"This is a journey both into a time and a place - the South of Ireland in the 1940s and 1950s. The author describes a childhood outside the main currents of the twentieth century; her parents still went fox hunting and horse racing and relied on readily available servants from a vast and inexpensive work-pool. At the same time they had no central heating, no television, and the roof leaked. Like many other Anglo-Irish families they attempted outlandish and impractical schemes to maintain deteriorating driveways and crumbling houses. This is an affectionate yet unsentimental memoir of a transitional generation, one born too late to benefit from the last years of the Ascendancy, but too early to integrate into the mainstream of contemporary Irish life.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53510901989649,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780907871422.jpg?v=1778181859","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-au\/products\/books-walled-gardens-by-annabel-davis-goff","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
