{"product_id":"wild-mary-a-life-of-mary-wesley","title":"Wild Mary, A Life of Mary Wesley","description":"Mary Wesley published her first novel at seventy and went on to write a further nine bestsellers, including the legendary The Camomile Lawn, in a style best described as arsenic without the old lace. Many of her stories were inspired by her experiences during the Blitz, and by her marriages: the first to an aristocrat, a brief and conventional affair, and the second to a penniless writer she adored.   A remarkable book about a remarkable woman, Patrick Marnham's brilliantly researched and wonderfully impartial book disentangles truth from rumour, highlighting the links between Wesley's real life and her fiction. B W photos through out the book.\nA tired copy showing signs of wear, binding is good.","brand":"vintage","offers":[{"title":"Fair \/ 89397aebdbf","offer_id":48068111827095,"sku":"9780099498179-FR-000140001","price":6.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/9002\/8951\/files\/11070623482223.jpg?v=1785060342","url":"https:\/\/thriftreads.co.nz\/products\/wild-mary-a-life-of-mary-wesley","provider":"Thrift Reads","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
