{"product_id":"9781894759748","title":"Leaving Now","description":"Set in the volatile 1970s and '80s, when social norms and expectations were changing rapidly, Leaving Now is the emotionally candid story of a mother's anguish as she leaves her husband to love a woman. In this second book, Paré masterfully blends aspects of her personal journey with her own version of a well-loved fairy tale. Gudrun, the five-hundred-year-old mother of Hansel and Gretel, appears hazily in the narrator's kitchen -- presumed dead, all but written out of her own tale, but very much alive. Gudrun spins a yarn of love, loss and leaving, offering comfort and wisdom to the conflicted young mother. Raising children is not for the faint of heart; all parents know the anguish of parting from a child, even if for the briefest moment. This novel is for mothers, fathers, sons and daughters. It is for anyone who has ever lived in a family.","brand":"Caitlin Press (CA)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":65440686375261,"sku":null,"price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/3893\/2573\/files\/9781894759748.jpg?v=1789079729","url":"https:\/\/shop.gazellebookservices.co.uk\/products\/9781894759748","provider":"Gazelle Book Services","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
