{"product_id":"scarlet-boy-book-tom-wakefield-9781852425821","title":"The Scarlet Boy","description":"Taking his inspiration from the powerful screen goddesses of the day, young Edward will stop at nothing in his single-minded pursuit of romance and stardom, cutting a swaithe through his parents' mining community and the local grammar school.  Harsh reality and his sharp-tongued mother, however, have a way of pricking his glorious balloon. The sequel to  Forties Child, The Scarlet Boy,  left unfinished at his death, is a wonderful recreation of childhood. It has all the hallmarks of a Tom Wakefield novel - a most vivid sense of place, total empathy with his characters, and a playful desire to undermine sexual conventions. Completed by his close friend, Patrick Gale, The Scarlet Boy is a fitting tribute to one of the very best late 20th century British writers.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49595016577297,"sku":"GOR001510854","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49638994018577,"sku":"GOR003634250","price":15.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1852425822.jpg?v=1750866199","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/scarlet-boy-book-tom-wakefield-9781852425821","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
