{"product_id":"9780224099806","title":"Driving Short Distances by Joff Winterhart","description":"Sam is 27 and needs to get a job. Keith, who claims to be a second cousin of his (absent) father, offers him one. On Keith's card it says he does `distribution and delivery', which seems to consist of `a lot of driving around, getting out of the car for a few minutes and then getting back in', Sam tells his mother.  And so the days go by, Keith driving to a trading estate, ducking into a portakabin, all the while telling Sam stories about his first boss, Geoff Crozier, his mentor in distribution and delivery. As the weeks pass, Sam gets to know Keith's friends, flirty Hazel-Claire from whom they buy two pasties every day at lunchtime, a variety of receptionists, and a few tantalising secrets from Keith's past.As in Days of the Bagnold Summer, Joff Winterhart is a master at depicting ordinary life in all its utterly poignant and funny mundanity.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56227171959157,"sku":"9780224099806","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780224099806.jpg?v=1762246372","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780224099806","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
