{"product_id":"i-was-thursdays-child-jillian-jelliffe-9780648067511","title":"I was Thursday's Child","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Thursday's child has far to go\", says the poem. From birth in Canada to growing up in England as a Navy child in the Depression and WWII, Jillian Jelliffe tells of her childhood and recalls the stories that shaped her character in a world very different to today. After qualifying as an Occupational Therapist she married a doctor and together they served five years in colonial Nigeria. In 1959 they emigrated to Australia where they settled and raised a family of four boys. With her father away for long periods as a Navy officer, and her mother absent for periods with mental heath issues, Jillian grew up as flotsam, as she describes it - living in a number of homes and at attending different schools in her formative years of childhood, in the lead up to and during WWII. Her training as an OT, subsequent marriage to a doctor and their sojourn to Nigeria for five years provides wonderful insights into colonial life at the time. After emigrating to Australia, Jillian finally finds a place to call home permanently, ending her life journey around the world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jillian Jelliffe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0648067513\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780648067511\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Nenge Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/19\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.55d","brand":"Jillian Jelliffe","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46906580238591,"sku":"9780648067511","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_112303fb-49e5-4fc4-aeda-9de6a83aacf4.jpg?v=1748770833","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/i-was-thursdays-child-jillian-jelliffe-9780648067511","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
