{"product_id":"the-real-thing","title":"The Real Thing","description":"A glorious tale of love and hilarity from No. 1 bestseller Catherine Alliott.  'What do you think I am, Laura? Some bored Putney housewife with seven-year itch who's just ripe for bumping into her glamorous ex-boyfriend on holiday, ditching her nice, safe, comfortable husband and embarking on a steamy affair with him? This isn't one of your Aga sagas, you know, this is me, Tessa Hamilton, happily married mother of two, and apart from anything else I went out with him years ago...'  Everyone's got one - an old boyfriend with whom they never fell out of love, they simply parted because the time wasn't right. And for thirty-year-old Tessa Hamilton it's Patrick Cameron, the gorgeous, moody, rebellious boy she met at seventeen; the boy her vicar father thoroughly disapproved of; the boy who had left her to go to Italy to paint. And now he's back.\nPoor Marks on the cover sun aged pages otherwise in tidy condition.","brand":"Headline","offers":[{"title":"Poor \/ 5de036dd575","offer_id":48068080763031,"sku":"9780747252351-PR-000150001","price":5.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/9002\/8951\/files\/794853482454.jpg?v=1785059851","url":"https:\/\/thriftreads.co.nz\/products\/the-real-thing","provider":"Thrift Reads","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
