It was Jeanette's version of the story of a terraced house in Accrington, an adopted child, and the thwarted giantess Mrs Winterson. It was a cover story, a painful past written over and repainted. It was a story of survival.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is that story's the silent twin. It is full of hurt and humour and a fierce love of life. It is about the pursuit of happiness, about lessons in love, the search for a mother and a journey into madness and out again. It is generous, honest and true.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e‘Unforgettable… It’s the best book I have ever read about the cost of growing up’ Daisy Goodwin, Sunday Times**ONE OF THE GUARDIAN'S 100 BEST BOOKS OF THE 21st CENTURY**\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jeanette Winterson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57548684919109,"sku":"9780099556091","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/3721\/6069\/files\/9780099556091.jpg?v=1774887335","url":"https:\/\/stripyduckbookshopcafe.co.uk\/products\/9780099556091","provider":"The Stripy Duck Bookshop Café","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
