{"product_id":"wish-you-were-here-graham-swift-9781455110919","title":"Wish You Were Here","description":"On an autumn day in 2006, on the Isle of Wight, Jack Luxton, former Devon farmer and now the proprietor of a seaside caravan park, receives the news that his soldier brother, Tom, not seen for years, has been killed in Iraq. For Jack and his wife, Ellie, this will have a potentially catastrophic impact. For Jack in particular it means a crucial journey--to receive his brother's remains, but it is also a journey into his own most secret, troubling memories and into the land of his and Ellie's past. Wish You Were Here is both a gripping account of things that touch and test our human core and a resonant novel about a changing England. Rich with Graham Swift's love of the local and full of humor and tenderness in the face of tragedy, it is also, inescapably, about a wider, afflicted world. Moving toward an almost unbearably tense climax, it allows us to feel the stuff of headlines--the return of a dead soldier from a foreign war--as heart-wrenching personal truth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Graham Swift\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1455110914\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781455110919\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Blackstone Audiobooks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/17\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e CD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.80h x 5.20w x 1.10d","brand":"Graham Swift","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":43935954796799,"sku":"9781455110919","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_bf8c9f90-49a4-44e7-b2d5-59080da05e9d.jpg?v=1681422783","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/wish-you-were-here-graham-swift-9781455110919","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
