{"product_id":"9781846975783","title":"Pianos and Flowers : Brief Encounters of the Romantic Kind by Alexander McCall Smith","description":"In Pianos and Flowers we are invited to glimpse a world long departed. In these stories, inspired by long-lost photographs, the lives of the people in the frame are imagined and then explored, layer by layer.   Three sisters brought up in Penang, caught in the tide of war.   A group of small boys in a Glasgow slum - their childhood blighted by poverty, their adult lives taking very different paths.   A young woman's search for love in the unlikely realm of Egyptian antiquities.   And through all of these photographs, and all of these stories, there runs the same refrain: the possibilities of love, of friendship, of happiness lie before us.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56308482605429,"sku":"9781846975783","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781846975783.jpg?v=1762807748","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781846975783","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
