{"product_id":"changing-skies-alrene-hughes-9781291927337","title":"Changing Skies","description":"These characters speak from the heart - the pain and excitement of leaving, the struggle to find work and raise a family and always the longing for home that never goes away. A Cork man drawn into the gangs of 19th century Manchester finds an unlikely escape from his criminal life. A navvy, 'Sure, didn't we build England for them, ' is moved by tragedy to make something of himself. A young woman arrives in England expecting the excitement she's read about in magazines, but her matchmaker cousin has other ideas . . . Those who crossed the sea carried not only their dreams of a better life, but the strength and good humour to adapt and survive. These fifteen stories portray with precision and honesty the experience of Irish immigrants-focusing on moments of passion, stark reality, and that eternal conflict between where they belong and where they live\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alrene Hughes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1291927336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781291927337\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lulu.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/11\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.15d","brand":"Alrene Hughes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44181242347775,"sku":"9781291927337","price":5.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_72074992-78e7-47cc-90a8-6dbb12e0e544.jpg?v=1690259353","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/changing-skies-alrene-hughes-9781291927337","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
