{"product_id":"dear-blacksmith-beverley-ward-9781912436378","title":"Dear Blacksmith","description":"‘This wasn't the story I wanted to tell. The end happened in the middle.’ \nPart love story, part grief memoir, Dear Blacksmith recounts the author’s brief and unconventional love affair with 'Blacksmith Paul', a maverick who lived out on the moors in the Peak District – and the heart-rending details of her grief after his sudden death, just eight months into their relationship.\nAdapted from the much-loved blog Swimming Through Clouds, the story is told through a series of searingly-honest diary entries, reflections, and poems addressed to the Blacksmith. In a heartfelt rejection of 'stiff upper lip' culture, 'Writer Beverley' sheds all inhibitions to examine grief at its most raw and brutal; from planning her love’s funeral with a family that she’d never met, to learning to live alone again following the loss both of her soulmate and her mother, a few weeks earlier.\nA complex journey from the depths of sorrow to the beginnings of recovery, this book is a work of extraordinary sincerity; and ultimately, a hard-earned testament to the power of love and the resilience of the human spirit.","brand":"Valley Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49567869305120,"sku":"9781912436378","price":9.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781912436378.jpg?v=1768059251","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/dear-blacksmith-beverley-ward-9781912436378","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
