{"product_id":"9780008751906","title":"The Forest Is the Path by Gary Lightbody","description":"The pages sing in this beautiful book.' Bono                                'Moving and lyrical, The Forest is the Path is an imaginative and deeply personal journey of self-discovery.' The Irish Times                                You're falling through time so all I can do is fall with you.                                   The numbness had set in long before I sat at your bedside. But even with senses impaired as the flight touches down at Belfast City I can somehow still feel the screeching of wheels on tarmac scorching something deep into me.                     Gary Lightbody's phenomenal companion to Snow Patrol's No.1 Album of the same name is a remarkable work of narrative writing.             The Forest is the Path explores some of the main themes of the album; time, home, love, death and life, and serves as a prequel to the record, telling the story of his dad Jack's death. It tracks the journey he went on - a journey whose end seemed to unlock a part of Gary that had been dormant until he started to write songs again.                         This is the book that emerged from that time.                     `[An] astoundingly poetic book' - Pandora Sykes          'Raw.and extraordinary.' - Nihal Arthanayake          'Lightbody's propose is fluid and unflinchingly honest' - The Irish Times          'Absolutely beautiful.' Audrey Carville          `I have both cried and laughed reading this book. It is beautiful.' - Muireann O'Connell\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56222054678901,"sku":"9780008751906","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780008751906.jpg?v=1762203975","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780008751906","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
