{"product_id":"capote-truman-a-christmas-memory-9780241474426","title":"A Christmas Memory","description":"Tender and bittersweet, these stories by Truman Capote, the author of Breakfast at Tiffany's, are a captivating tribute to the Christmas season 'We set about choosing a tree. \"It should be,\" muses my friend, \"twice as tall as a boy. So a boy can't steal the star.\"' Selected from across Truman Capote's writing life, these Christmas stories range from nostalgic, semi-autobiographical portraits of childhood to more unsettling tales of darkness beneath the festive glitter. In the Deep South of Capote's youth, a young boy, Buddy, and his beloved maiden 'aunt' Sook forage for pecans and whiskey to bake into fruitcakes, make kites - too broke to buy gifts - and rise before dawn to prepare feasts for a ragged assembly of guests; while in other stories, a lonely woman has a troubling encounter in wintry New York and an unlikely festive miracle, of sorts, occurs at a local drugstore. Brimming with feeling, these sparkling tales convey both the wonder and the chill of Christmas time.","brand":"Penguin Books Ltd (UK)","offers":[{"title":"Used - very good","offer_id":53601674199382,"sku":"9780241474426-V","price":7.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Used - good","offer_id":53378437906774,"sku":"9780241474426-G","price":5.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9780241474426_1.jpg?v=1778097526","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/capote-truman-a-christmas-memory-9780241474426","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
