{"product_id":"low-voices-h-b-w3","title":"Manuel Rivas: The Low Voices [2016] hardback","description":"The Low Voices is a novel about life, it is life itself telling stories, it is the memory of the quiet voices of the people I got to know.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Low Voices draws on a patchwork of memories from Rivas's early life under Franco. There's his beloved elder sister, Maria; his mother, the verbivore; his father, a construction worker with vertigo; and a supporting cast of local priests, chatty hairdressers, wolf hunters and monstrous carnival effigies.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The book is full of wonderful personal stories, set against a background of the ravages of the Spanish Civil War and its aftermath at home, and the wider world as Coca-Cola sets up a factory nearby and news comes in of men landing on the moon.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA brilliant coming-of-age novel from one of Spain's greatest storytellers, The Low Voices is a humorous and philosophical take on memory, belonging, and the nature of storytelling itself.","brand":"Rivas, Mannuel \u0026 Dunne, Jonathan","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":42325545517241,"sku":"9781846558672","price":12.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/products\/rivas-mannuel-dunne-jonathan-low-voices-h-b-w3-9781846558672-32644455661753.jpg?v=1656044294","url":"https:\/\/keatsandchapman.info\/products\/low-voices-h-b-w3","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
