{"product_id":"the-savoy-truffle-9781908011657","title":"The Savoy Truffle","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSet among the mansions and tennis clubs of Surrey's richest suburb, The Savoy Truffle is a darkly comic drama that evokes an era when Mod gear was fab, the Shorty Nightie shocking, the coffee frothy, and a new Beatles' single brought hysteria to the classroom. The grey post-war years are trembling on the verge of Technicolour, and the Blyte children are struggling to cope with the transition in their own idiosyncratic ways: Hugh's novel is held up by yearning for the Irish au pair; Janey moons over the mystery of men and the enigmatic Black Mini; George wages savage war on his Enemy; and the Moo takes refuge in his exclusive Sloppy Club. A crisis in their parents' lives brings madness and death, a supernatural visitor and an all-too-real tiger...The children have to confront - and conquer - the follies of their elders with wit and invention. Patrick Harpur is the acclaimed author of three novels and three works of non-fiction, including Daimonic Reality, The Philosophers' Secret Fire and Mercurius. He lives in West Dorset, worlds away from his Surrey upbringing.","brand":"Skylight Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51771789836631,"sku":"9781908011657","price":14.12,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781908011657.jpg?v=1758729101","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-savoy-truffle-9781908011657","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
