{"product_id":"homework-a-memoir","title":"Homework A Memoir","description":"Moving, atmospheric, truthful, perceptive and hilariously funny -- I loved it: a piece of our English history, the story of a vanished time, which feels close at hand but thoroughly gone. What a story. What a great story' - TESSA HADLEY\u003cbr\u003e In Homework, Geoff Dyer reflects on his childhood and what it means to come of age in England in the 60s and 70s, in a country shaped by the aftermath of the Second World War but accelerating towards change.\u003cbr\u003e He was born in Cheltenham in the late fifties, the only child of a dinner lady and a planning engineer. Raised in a working-class area, Geoff and his mates found much joy recreating battles with their beloved Tommy guns, kicking a beachball around until its untimely death, and collecting anything and everything they could find; football cards, conkers and Action Man figures. When Geoff passes his 11-plus exams he gets in to a Cheltenham Grammar School, a school which drastically changes the trajectory of his life.","brand":"Unity Books","offers":[{"title":"Homework A Memoir","offer_id":44749414334661,"sku":null,"price":64.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/6679\/3413\/files\/978-1-83726-198-7.jpg?v=1748149863","url":"https:\/\/unitybooks.myshopify.com\/products\/homework-a-memoir","provider":"Unity Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
