{"product_id":"old-spring-book-richard-francis-9781906994068","title":"The Old Spring","description":"Dawn and Frank wake up one wet morning in the flat above their pub,  the Old Spring. Today they have to meet the brewery representative,  creepy Tim Green, and track down an error in their books - or face the  consequences. Dawn has something else on her mind too: the anniversary  of an old tragedy for which she has always felt responsible.  Frank has a problem of his own - a secret that has ended his sex  life with Dawn. Darren the cleaner meanwhile is haunted by the ghost of a  long-dead landlord. The pub's 'chaplain', Father Thomas, tries to  rediscover his faith under the sceptical scrutiny of his tormentor,  Alan. And in the local hospital, pub regular Romesh drifts towards death  on his magic carpet, while back in the snug, the tattooed man faces up  to a life and death crisis of his own.  The Old Spring abounds with sadness, banter and exuberant  storytelling, showing all the communal spirit and camaraderie of the pub  at its best.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49591733256465,"sku":"GOR002205523","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1906994064.jpg?v=1750900134","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/old-spring-book-richard-francis-9781906994068","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
