{"product_id":"requiem-for-private-hughes-chip-tolson-9781517354176","title":"Requiem for Private Hughes","description":"Art student Archie Middlebrook, on national service in Malaya, is wounded in a terrorist ambush; his friend, Geraint Hughes, is killed in the explosion. Home in Somerset with his war-widowed mother, Dorothy, and family helper, Ivy, Archie won't speak of events in Malaya. He immerses himself in manual labour for their elderly farmer neighbour, 'Zed' Vellacott, before having a wild, yet doomed, sexual coming-of-age with Maggie, his mother's god-daughter. His artistic ambitions abandoned, Archie works into middle age in a department store, until he is made redundant at the hands of a young business colleague, promoted accountant Lorna. Years later, Archie lives alone, remaining friends with Ivy, his childhood minder, when Lorna dramatically re-enters the scene ... with life-changing consequences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chip Tolson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 151735417X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781517354176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 290\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.08w x 0.61d","brand":"Chip Tolson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49163610161407,"sku":"9781517354176","price":12.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/requiem-for-private-hughes-chip-tolson-9781517354176","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
