{"product_id":"hunky-dory-paul-magrs-9798580066561","title":"Hunky Dory: A Novel about Storytelling, Friendship, Love... and About Finding Your Place in the World","description":"Dodie Golightly has just taken charge of Hunky Dory caf  the best caf  in the world. In a neglected corner of south Manchester they've been serving frothy coffee and late night pizzas longer than Dodie's even been alive. She's in her mid-thirties, still living at home, and waiting for her life to start. She's hidden herself away too long.. Her mother Elena has other ideas for the caf  her recently-deceased husband created. She's decided it's time to go upmarket and continental. This glamorous widow is a bundle of energy: intent on saving the local library, finishing off her memoirs and even organising a little light kidnapping of unruly Creative Writing Professors...New to the Golightly circle is Ian - a young gay man who comes to work at the caf  whose dream is to have a tiny secondhand bookshop and watch the world go by. He's cynical about love and stuck in a mostly-off romance with a lad who works on the market. But this is the year that Ian's about to fall in love at last...It looks as if Dodie has found love, too - with a sexy, slightly tubby guy who's writing the strangest-sounding sci-fi novel in the world.These three and their best friends and neighbours embark on all kinds of adventures through long summer nights in Manchester, with library sit-ins, nights out dancing, hostage-takings and lots of nocturnal coffee and gin... A bit like Armistead Maupin in multicultural south Manchester - it's a novel about storytelling, friendship and love: and about finding your place in the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Magrs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8580066565\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798580066561\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/22\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 476\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.00w x 1.06d","brand":"Paul Magrs","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45897133719807,"sku":"9798580066561","price":16.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6f4de1f6-2aca-41c4-86af-cd63a0b79362.jpg?v=1721373242","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hunky-dory-paul-magrs-9798580066561","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
