{"product_id":"nell","title":"Nell","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNell is born to a new century, her early life forged in the freedoms of the NZ high country. Her own freedom is tested: by family expectation, by husband Herb's pride, by the rigours of family life on a Maniototo sheep station. Nell dares to step beyond the bounds; she revels and stumbles in love; encounters the perils of a woman's life, of motherhood and loss; she embraces the consolation of friendship and seeks a worldview that can hold it all. In this vivid and lyrically narrated chronicle of a life, readers will resonate with Nell's quintessentially New Zealand character- her failings, her integrity, her compassion and strength. \"In writing a novel of her life, I expected gaps and guesswork, but instead found a presence and a life, vivid and corporeal, that unfolded scene by scene.\" Emma Neale:\"... an astonishingly vivid and moving chronicle of an individual's life ... A kind of spiritual biography.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bateman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42443357552674,"sku":"9781738594337","price":34.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0052\/0785\/1042\/files\/Copy-of-Book-Template---2024-05-05T165224-672.jpg?v=1714884761","url":"https:\/\/petronella.pro\/products\/nell","provider":"Petronella's Gallery and Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
