{"product_id":"9781843519492","title":"Injury Time : 'Fast-paced, smart, and extremely funnyâ€™ Paul Murray, author of The Bee Sting","description":"\u003cp\u003eBusinessman Fenton Conville has it all sewn up, coasting through life with his mates and his money in a sleepy Northern Irish village. Until, that is, he wakes on his fiftieth birthday to an unexpected solicitorâ€™s letter and a shocking allegation that could blow his world apart. In this sharp-eyed comedy of memories, middle age and long-buried mistakes, a privileged entrepreneur feels the chill winds of post-Brexit change in a society struggling to account for its past. Ultimately,Â Injury TimeÂ is a poignant, acerbic look at a man out of sync with the world around him. Kevin Smithâ€™s prose is by turns hilarious and incisive, blending satire with a genuine exploration of aging, masculinity, and the slow erosion of certainty. This is a story about dodging bullets, literal and metaphorical, and the painful comedy of lifeâ€™s second half. In the end, Fentonâ€™s true struggle is less about money or status than finding relevance and peace as the clock runs down.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shelf-Made.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52063343903048,"sku":"9781843519492","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/1260\/5000\/files\/9781843519492_3dbaf73c-6c06-473f-ab15-09138bd87572.jpg?v=1764081407","url":"https:\/\/shelfmadebooks.com\/products\/9781843519492","provider":"Shelf-Made.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
