{"product_id":"vintage-the-gleaning-p-b-z44","title":"Jeremy Chambers: The Vintage and the Gleaning [2012] paperback","description":"Smithy is a retired shearer turned vineyard worker in his autumn years. It is hard graft, but Smithy has always worked with his hands. Physically all but destroyed after a lifetime of hard liquor, but now sober, he begins to see the world with new eyes, a meditative, singular figure in the town's bar on rowdy Friday nights. But clarity can be a curse. Finally confronting his past, overwhelmed by long-buried feelings of regret, nostalgia and loss, Smithy steps in to help a young woman in a desperate situation. A cautious friendship develops, but Charlotte's husband is widely suspected of murder, and Smithy begins to fear that he will pay a high price for his gallantry. Written with an authentic music, and infused with beauty, brutality and sadness The Vintage and the Gleaning is a compelling observation of men, women and country. A remarkably accomplished debut novel.","brand":"Chambers, Jeremy","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":47439260090707,"sku":"XV81780871639","price":3.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"New","offer_id":42324549009593,"sku":"9781780871639","price":4.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/chambers-jeremy-jeremy-chambers-the-vintage-and-the-gleaning-2012-paperback-1119532716.jpg?v=1738660622","url":"https:\/\/keatsandchapman.info\/products\/vintage-the-gleaning-p-b-z44","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
