{"product_id":"9781804270448","title":"A Very Easy Death by Ali Smith","description":"Long considered one of Simone de Beauvoir's masterpieces, A Very Easy Death is a profoundly affecting, day-by-day recounting of her mother's final days after she is hospitalized following a fall. Though a devout Catholic, her faith is subsumed by her terror of death, and as her body fails, she clings to life with fierce, primal desperation. In depicting her mother's refusal to `go gentle' while her autonomy and dignity are taken from her, Simone de Beauvoir `shows the power of compassion when it is allied with acute intelligence' (Sunday Telegraph). Powerful, touching and sometimes shocking, this is an end-of-life account that no reader is likely to forget.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56307338150261,"sku":"9781804270448","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781804270448.jpg?v=1762803593","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781804270448","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
