{"product_id":"when-i-first-held-you","title":"When I First Held You","description":"Silence tore them apart. Can the truth bring them back together?\n\"Marvellous”―Lesley Pearse\n\"A hauntingly beautiful novel\"―Imogen Clark\n\"Gripping, heart rending and extremely satisfying”―Katie Fforde\nIn 1960s Glasgow, anti-nuclear activists Judith and Jimmy fall in love. But their future hopes are dashed when their protestors’ squat is raided and many, including Jimmy, are sent to prison. Pregnant and with no word from Jimmy, Judith is forced to enter an unmarried mothers’ home, give up their baby and learn to live with her grief.\nMore than half a century later, Judith’s Mending Shop restores broken treasures, just as Judith herself has been bound back together by her late, much-missed partner, Catherine. But her tranquillity is shattered when Jimmy―so different and yet somehow the same―reappears, yearning to unpick the painful past.\nRealising they each know only half of the other’s story, Jimmy and Judith finally break the silence that tore apart what might have been their family. Amid heartbreak and hope, how much can now be mended?\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1662503865\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1662503865.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Harris, Anstey\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Former library book with the usual stamps, stickers and labels.
