{"product_id":"the-broken-melody","title":"The Broken Melody","description":"The novel was about Ted Jenkins, a farmer's son, is kicked out of boarding school for addiction to dope; when his father finds out, he kicks Ted off their property as well. Ted moves to Sydney and becomes homeless; he thinks about killing himself when he sees a young woman, Carmol, thinking of killing herself, too. They decide not to do it and Carmol nurses Ted back to health. The two form a strong bond (though not a romantic one – Ted's love is for Nibs, the daughter of Ted's father's best friend).","brand":"Thrift Reads","offers":[{"title":"Poor \/ 4509aee9773","offer_id":48067903160471,"sku":"TR20250608A-PR-000150001","price":4.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/9002\/8951\/files\/31473467972.jpg?v=1785055407","url":"https:\/\/thriftreads.co.nz\/products\/the-broken-melody","provider":"Thrift Reads","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
