{"product_id":"9781911590514","title":"She Come By It Natural : Dolly Parton and the Women Who Lived Her Songs by Sarah Smarsh","description":"SHORTLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLEThe world can't seem to get enough of Dolly Parton. Her image is blazoned across T-shirts, she burns on desks as blasphemous candles, and well into her seventies she continues to grace awards stages, arenas and talk shows where women of a certain age are rarely seen.   Yet not so long ago, Dolly was best known by many people as the punch line of a boob joke. So, what happened?In this affectionate, sharply insightful book, Sarah Smarsh charts Dolly's meteoric rise against the backdrop of her working-class roots. Drawing on her own experience growing up in rural Kansas, Smarsh crafts a resonant portrait of Parton's cultural importance, above all for the often-unheard women who populate her songs: struggling mothers, pregnant teenagers, diner waitresses with deadbeat boyfriends. Candid, intimate and searching, She Come By It Natural captures the enduring appeal of this singular star.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56308930576757,"sku":"9781911590514","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781911590514.jpg?v=1762809749","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781911590514","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
