{"product_id":"books-the-tiger-in-the-grass-by-doerr-harriet","title":"The Tiger in the Grass","description":"In her first collection of stories and pieces, Harriet Doerr explores the magical power of memory and brings us a wealth of unforgettable characters: eccentric eighty-two-year-old Great-Aunt Alice, who, empowered by a lucid memory, lived out her final, physically debilitated years with grace; Edie, who arrives in California from England to bring sanity and peace to a house with five half-orphaned children and a despairing widower; Paco, eight years old, and Gloria, eleven, children caught between the longing and pleasures of childhood and the harsh mature realities of their meager circumstances in a Mexican village. These and other characters are captured in the web of life with a startling sensitivity that will touch the reader at every turn. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Strikingly pure and radiant.--\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53508202463505,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780670864713.jpg?v=1778141498","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/books-the-tiger-in-the-grass-by-doerr-harriet","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
