{"product_id":"9781542008495","title":"The Photographer by Petra Durst-Benning","description":"From the bestselling author of The Glassblower Trilogy comes an inspiring historical saga of a female photographer who must defy convention to live her dreams in turn-of-the-century Germany.   In 1905, on her twenty-sixth birthday, Mimi Reventlow receives a marriage proposal from the vicar of her family's church. But a future of housework, childcare, and servicing a parish doesn't appeal to the restless and unconventional Mimi. She has ambitions of her own-to follow in the footsteps of her beloved uncle Josef and become a traveling photographer. Leaving behind all that has been mapped out for her, Mimi dares to pursue her passion and sets out alone to make her own mark.   A visit to her ailing uncle in the idyllic mountain town of Laichingen, Germany, pauses Mimi's journey. Here, among provincialism and rejection, she struggles to find her place within a vibrant but wary community. But Mimi's resilience is only strengthened by adversity. Her courage is indomitable. Maybe here, among surprising kindred spirits and longing hearts, in a place she never expected, Mimi's dreams might be coming into focus.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56303332327797,"sku":"9781542008495","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781542008495.jpg?v=1762794227","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781542008495","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
