{"product_id":"the-striker-and-the-clock-georgia-cloepfil-9781526668523","title":"The Striker and the Clock","description":"An exhilarating and searing memoir about life as a professional female footballer - and a beautiful examination of the joy and pain of serious athletics\n‘Riveting ... A paean to the beautiful game’ Los Angeles Times \n ‘It contained so much of what I love and find endlessly interesting about football ... A very lovely thinker and writer’ Rebecca Watson\n‘A compelling debut’ Times Literary Supplement\nIn The Striker and the Clock, Georgia Cloepfil tells the story of her life in football: the triumph, the exhilaration, the deep bonds between teammates, and also the years of self-denial, exile and dedication, in which players try in vain to outpace a clock that ticks down toward an indeterminate ending.\nWhat emerges is a profound meditation on what it is to have a body, and what it is to have the compulsion to push it to do the near impossible; and a love letter to the motivations, joys, pains and desires of a beautiful game.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50458598900000,"sku":"9781526668523","price":8.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781526668523.jpg?v=1781469178","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/the-striker-and-the-clock-georgia-cloepfil-9781526668523","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
