{"product_id":"9781916751316","title":"Dreaming of Dead People","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the ‘middle of life’ – although this is only thirty-six – and with the unsparing eye of a portraitist, Lavinia reviews her frustrations and her solitariness, the grief and the rapture: these are her seeming companions in a pageant presided over, as it were, by the medieval masks of Owl, signifying winter, and Cuckoo, for erotic love. In attendance are dreams of rustic places and once-dear animals. But it is no ordinary procession, for her childhood comes last. The idiosyncratic Dreaming of Dead People was first published in 1979, yet remains as surprising as ever: it is frank, mordantly funny, true to itself and raw.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shelf-Made.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52063186157896,"sku":"9781916751316","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/1260\/5000\/files\/9781916751316_1dd35f79-7567-4520-9174-fc872926756f.jpg?v=1764080231","url":"https:\/\/shelfmadebooks.com\/products\/9781916751316","provider":"Shelf-Made.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
