{"product_id":"9781849160131","title":"The Choral Society","description":"\u003cp\u003eThree single women in their fifties meet when they join a choir. Lucy, recently widowed, is a cook and food journalist; Joanna, a successful business woman, never married; Rebecca is a divorced interior decorator. Each of the women is at a crossroads and they quickly form a bond. The trio decide to combine their talents to restore a crumbling pile in Cornwall and turn it into a cookery school and spa. The project brings its own conflicts, both professional and personal. The novel's themes touch on the sustaining power of female friendship and how a woman copes with mid life and onwards. Prue's narrative voice is warm, witty, wise, very accessible. Her characters are sympathetic and engaging: very different women but each with demons to face as she gets older and confronts a future without - perhaps - a man in it. Her knowledge of food and business adds detail and zest, enriching an already compelling tale.\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+Prue+Leith\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003ePrue Leith\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Prue Leith","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47378769871011,"sku":"9781849160131","price":280.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9781849160131_9d2b1d88-1ec8-45e3-877a-6b82c32e947c.jpg?v=1776602998","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9781849160131","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
