{"product_id":"9781472152862","title":"Johannesburg","description":"\u003cp\u003e6 December 2013. It is a searing hot day in Johannesburg. Gin has returned to the city of her birth to throw a party for her mother's eightieth birthday. She is determined, with lists and meals and flower arrangements, to show that she has become a fully capable woman. She knows, deep down, her mother will only ever see a lost cause. Meanwhile outside, crowds of citizens and the world's media have gathered to hear the expected announcement: Nelson Mandela has died. Set across the course of a single momentous day and narrated by a chorus of voices, Fiona Melrose's second novel is a hymn to an extraordinary city and its people, an ambitious homage to Virginia Woolf's Mrs Dalloway, and a devastating personal and political manifesto on mothers and daughters, justice and love. 'Beautifully observed' Mail on Sunday 'Woolf produced blooms that are impossible to emulate. Johannesburg provides evidence of a novelist who can grow inimitable flowers herself' Spectator\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+Fiona+Melrose\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eFiona Melrose\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Fiona Melrose","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47376753066147,"sku":"9781472152862","price":680.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9781472152862_88033b2d-e9ab-455a-baae-12d3ddb0dbd0.jpg?v=1776543283","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9781472152862","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
