{"product_id":"christmas-memory-truman-capote-9780241474426","title":"Christmas Memory","description":"Tender and bittersweet, these stories by Truman Capote, the author of Breakfast at Tiffany's,\nare a captivating tribute to the Christmas season\n'We set about choosing a tree. \"It should be,\" muses my friend, \"twice as tall as a boy. So a boy can't steal the star.\"'\nSelected from across Truman Capote's writing life, these Christmas stories range from nostalgic, semi-autobiographical portraits of childhood to more unsettling tales of darkness beneath the festive glitter. In the Deep South of Capote's youth, a young boy, Buddy, and his beloved maiden 'aunt' Sook forage for pecans and whiskey to bake into fruitcakes, make kites - too broke to buy gifts - and rise before dawn to prepare feasts for a ragged assembly of guests; while in other stories, a lonely woman has a troubling encounter in wintry New York and an unlikely festive miracle, of sorts, occurs at a local drugstore.\nBrimming with feeling, these sparkling tales convey both the wonder and the chill of Christmas time.","brand":"Penguin Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52047461876000,"sku":"9780241474426","price":8.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9780241474426.jpg?v=1785298119","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/christmas-memory-truman-capote-9780241474426","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
