{"product_id":"the-picture-book","title":"The Picture Book","description":"Set against the rolling backdrop of a century of British history from WWI to the 'War on Terror', this is a family portrait captured in snapshots. First there is William, the factory lad who loses his life in Gallipoli, then his son Billy, a champion cyclist who survives the D-Day Landings on a military bicycle, followed by his crippled son Will who becomes an Oxford academic in the 1960s, and finally his daughter Billie, an artist in contemporary London.  Just as the names - William, Billy, Will, Billie - echo down through the family, so too the legacy of choices made, chances lost, and secrets kept. Rich in drama and sensuous in detail, \"The Picture Book\" is a beautifully crafted story about fathers and sons, about fate and repetition, and about the possibility of breaking free.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57536427065717,"sku":"9781846273810","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781846273810.jpg?v=1788186155","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/the-picture-book","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
