{"product_id":"grand-becoming-my-mothers-daughter","title":"Grand : Becoming My Mother's Daughter","description":"\u003cp\u003eQuick-witted, charismatic and generous; angry, vicious and hurt; in pubs all over Cork City, Noelle McCarthy's mother Carol rages against her life and everything she has lost. Soon after leaving college, in the early years of the millennium, Noelle flees. Even on the other side of the world, with fame and success within her grasp, Noelle cannot escape an appetite for self-destruction.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Life spirals out of control until she too is in danger of losing everything. At thirty, she pulls back from the brink. Over a decade later, Carol is dying.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Finally, it seems, mother and daughter will make peace. Except Carol has no interest in admitting her own mortality - she will die as she lived, entirely on her own terms. If there is any reckoning to be done between past and present, Noelle will be doing it on her own.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Grand is the deeply moving and surprisingly funny outcome of Noelle's yearning to understand her mother, and to make sense of their lives, together and apart. Most of all, it is a dazzlingly honest memoir about becoming a modern woman.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e Published: UK, 2023\u003cbr\u003e Publisher: Penguin Books Ltd\u003cbr\u003eLanguages: English \u003cbr\u003e Pages: 272\u003cbr\u003e ISBN 13: 9781844886500\u003cbr\u003e ISBN 10: 1844886506\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Noelle McCarthy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44641269580042,"sku":"","price":20.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/files\/9780241391594_6714a444-8424-4b15-a362-e7bc9995fc96.jpg?v=1689853474","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/grand-becoming-my-mothers-daughter","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
