{"product_id":"the-gipsys-baby-and-other-stories-9781504003209","title":"The Gipsy's Baby: And Other Stories","description":"\u003cb\u003eThis collection of stories by one of Britain's most beloved novelists depicts domestic life during World War II as seen through the eyes of both children and adults\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In \"The Red-haired Miss Daintreys,\" four six-foot-tall sisters capture the imagination of young Rebecca when she and her family are on holiday. Beautifully crafted and informed by Lehmann's eye for telling detail, it is a moving meditation on familial ties, romantic love, and the end of an era. In \"When the Waters Came\" and \"A Dream of Winter,\" both the deprivations of war and a swarm of bees take their toll on the inhabitants of a small English village--afflicting one family in particular. \"Wonderful Holidays\" is the tale of a divorced woman who cares for two children while a wounded veteran of World War I longs for his absent wife. And the title story is an exploration of the unlikely friendship between two families--one privileged, one poor--and the tragedy that ensues when a band of gypsies sets up camp on the outskirts of town.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e These five stories will sweep readers into a world where grieving is a necessary part of the human condition and love can flourish in the most unexpected places. Morality, the class system, the grim realities of war, love and loss--Lehmann's trademark themes are on vivid display in this remarkable collection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Open Road Media\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/21\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781504003209\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.45d","brand":"Rosamond Lehmann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40040234090677,"sku":"9781504003209","price":14.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_70dda0e0-f5d4-4b60-95a9-773893442f1f.jpg?v=1621341520","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-gipsys-baby-and-other-stories-9781504003209","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
