{"product_id":"9780143024569","title":"The Good Doctor","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen Laurence Waters arrives at his rural posting, Frank is instantly suspicious. Laurence is everything Frank is not -- young, optimistic and full of new schemes. The two become uneasy friends, while the rest of the staff in the deserted hospital view Laurence with a mixture of awe and mistrust. The town beyond the hospital is also coping with new arrivals, and the return of old faces. The brigadier -- a self-fashioned dictator from apartheid days -- is rumoured to still be alive. And down at Mama's place, a group of soldiers have moved in with their malign commandant, a man Frank has met before and is keen to avoid. Laurence wants to help -- bit in a world where the past is demanding restitution from the present, his ill-starred idealism cannot last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Damon+Galgut\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eDamon Galgut\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Damon Galgut","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47376475685027,"sku":"9780143024569","price":160.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9780143024569_6ad29c42-2aab-4707-b9d2-158b120b8c61.jpg?v=1776455309","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9780143024569","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
